Muscat: As part of its ongoing commitment to support the wider community and the ‘Aster Volunteer’ and “Aster@30” initiatives, commemorating Aster DM Healthcare’s 30th anniversary year, Aster Al Raffah Hospital, Oman organised a free medical checkup for the Al Noor Association for the Blind recently.
A team of specialist doctors and dentists from Aster Al Raffah Hospital conducted the free checkup and consultations for 80 members who attended the health check. The first of associations between, Aster Al Raffah Hospital and Al Noor Association for the Blind, the health camp took place at the latter’s headquarters in Al Khuwair. In addition to this, post the health checkup, the members from Al Noor Association for the Blind were taken to the Civil Aviation Club (CAC) for a fun and enjoyable evening with games and other recreational activities.
Seeniya Biju, chief executive officer for Aster Al Raffah Hospitals & Clinics said, “It gives us immense pleasure in announcing our alliance with Al Noor Association for the Blind, as they have been excelling in improving the quality of life of several visually impaired and blind individuals in Oman, further empowering them to lead fulfilling lives.”
“Aster Al Raffah Hospital is always at the forefront when it comes to providing healthcare facilities to those in need and creating awareness among them about the importance of regular health checks. Health check-ups such as these are an integral component of our CSR activities, reiterating our commitment to give back to the community. Through this initiative, we aim to create a healthier Oman and promise to conduct such health assessments more often. We also believe that this health check has been extremely beneficial for the attendees, as this initiative has been very well received. We are honoured with this association and look forward to steadfast support in the future.”
This event also saw the attendance and support of Aster Volunteers, an Aster@30 initiative to bridge the gap between people who would like to help those in need from people who need the help.
