The Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) has announced an extensive line-up of activities and exhibitors at the Walk the Talk Doha: Health for All Challenge, taking place at Al Bidda Park on Saturday, from 8am to 11am.
MoPH and World Health Organisation (WHO) are bringing the Walk the Talk initiative to Doha for the first time through the Sport for Health partnership, in collaboration with FIFA and the Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy.
WHO's Walk the Talk initiative aims to encourage physical activity to promote health for a healthy and sustainable future and Walk the Talk events have previously been held in cities across the world including Geneva, New York and Cairo.
Ali al-Khater, chairman of the Supreme Committee for Healthcare Communications, said: "I would like to thank Al Bidda Park and the Private Engineering Office for providing the perfect location to host Walk the Talk Doha and I am incredibly grateful to the many organisations that have pledged their support to this wonderful health initiative, including the UHC Partnership, 3-2-1 Qatar Olympic and Sports Museum, Qatar Tennis Federation, Qatar Cancer Society, Qatar Olympic Committee, Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar's Sahtak Awalan, and Qatar Rugby Federation."
"The way in which organisations have embraced Walk the Talk Doha shows the commitment across Qatar to promoting health and wellbeing locally and globally."
At Walk the Talk Doha, a wide range of activities and exhibitors will be present on the day, raising awareness of important health topics and providing many activities for participants of all ages to get involved in.
Exhibitors include: Sport for Health initiative; Qatar Cancer Society; Healthy Cities Programme; National Mental Health Service; National Healthy Ageing Programme; and National Diabetes Programme.
Activities include Tennis games run by Qatar Tennis Federation; the Wheel of Wellbeing activities led by the National Mental Health programme; introduction to Thai Chi by the National Healthy Ageing Programme; rugby skills and games with the Qatar Rugby Federation; fun physical activity games led by the 3-2-1 Qatar Olympic and Sports Museum; and an opportunity to try out the Sahtak Awalan Fitness Box.
