Action on Diabetes (AoD) has launched a Ramadan awareness campaign in partnership with W Doha Hotel which will see the hotel providing diabetes friendly meals everyday throughout Ramadan for Iftar and Suhoor in the hotel’s exclusive Ramadan tent.
The tent,situated in the Great Room of the hotel, will run until 8pm daily and will serve delicious diabetes friendly starters, main courses and desserts. The diabetes friendly meals served in the tent are approved by Qatar Diabetes Association and will include a variety of tasty, healthy food choices. Diners can easily identify a diabetes friendly meal as they will be clearly labelled with a blue AoD circle.
Safak Guvenc, general manager of W Doha Hotel said: “W Doha is delighted to have partnered with AoD in Qatar to support such an important cause. We hope it will encourage more and more people to raise awareness of the disease which negatively affects people all over the world.”
The partnership with the W Doha hotel falls under the umbrella of a wider Ramadan awareness campaign which was launched 10 days before Ramadan. The campaign involved AoD collaborating with a number of leading organisations across Qatar, including Qatar’s largest supermarket chain, the Al Meera Consumer Goods Company. AoD has set up screening stations in three of Al Meera’s largest outlets.
Herluf Nis Thomsen, senior project manager, AoD said: “I would like to thank the W Doha Hotel for their support of the Ramadan awareness campaign. Eating healthy meals in Ramadan is advised for everyone, including those at risk of developing diabetes and for those who are living with the condition.”
