The Sheikh Abdullah bin Zaid Al Mahmoud Islamic Cultural Centre (Fanar) at the Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs (Awqaf) has organised a health education programme.
The programme, according to an official statement from Awqaf, targeted 340 workers from Qatari Diar and Binaa Qatar.
The programme was held at Fanar’s branch in the workers’ city in co-operation with the Primary Health Care Corporation (PHCC).
The programme was attended by workers of various nationalities, during which comprehensive medical examinations were provided and some medicines were distributed free of charge.
These were in addition to educational lectures on general health aspects and raising awareness of the importance of prevention and self-care.
The meeting was also used to provide a brief introduction to Islamic culture and Qatari values and to answer the inquiries of the participating workers.
The programme was organised in line with Fanar’s vision to reach the targeted groups of expatriate communities and workers in their locations while ensuring the provision of integrated services that meet their needs and contribute to improving their quality of life, health-wise culturally and spiritually in line with Awqaf’s mission to consolidate the values of compassion and community solidarity.
Fanar administration said the programme reflects the integration between government agencies in the country to serve the community, with the PHCC providing the necessary medical support through a team of volunteer doctors and nurses, in addition to medicines and medical supplies.
