Doha Festival City, Qatar's ultimate destination for shopping, dining, and entertainment, is proud to partner with Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) and ConocoPhillips for the ongoing Kulluna Healthy Heart campaign. As a key initiative under the #FestivalCares CSR program, this campaign focuses on promoting heart health and enhancing community wellbeing.

From April 26th to May 4th, Doha Festival City hosts a variety of free health services that encourage a healthier lifestyle among its visitors. The booth, currently located at Entertainment Node, includes comprehensive health tests available at no cost. These tests assess blood cholesterol, glucose levels, blood pressure, and Body Mass Index (BMI). Expert physicians are on hand to analyze the results and discuss potential heart disease risk factors with participants.

Additionally, the campaign booth offers valuable educational insights on several important health topics. Visitors receive information on the impact of BMI on heart health, methods for managing cholesterol and blood sugar levels effectively, the importance of physical activity, and the relationships between obesity and heart disease.

Simon Van de Velde, Chief Asset Management Officer & Group Director of Al Futtaim Real Estate, comments on the campaign’s impact: “At Doha Festival City, we are dedicated to enriching the lives of our community. The Kulluna Healthy Heart campaign plays a crucial role in this mission. By providing essential health screenings and educational resources, we equip our visitors with the knowledge necessary for a healthier lifestyle.”

Dr. Mahmoud Younis, Assistant Director of Health Promotion and Community Engagement at the Hamad International Training Center, said that the ‘Kulluna for a Healthy Heart’ campaign was initiated to confront and manage the alarming rise of cardiovascular diseases in Qatar.

“Cardiovascular disease is increasing both in Qatar and worldwide. Although it can often be treated, prevention and awareness are the best way to reverse this trend. A healthy heart is a critical factor in living a healthy life, and simple diet and lifestyle changes can dramatically reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

“We thank Doha Festival City for their continued support and for giving us an opportunity to continue to directly engage with the community. Last year more than 11,000 people visited us at Doha Festival City and were given basic health checks and were able to speak with our physicians. With important and practical information and measures we share during this campaign, we hope to support not only the heart health of visitors but also their overall wellbeing.”

The Kulluna Healthy Heart campaign is a pivotal element of health awareness in the region, striving to markedly improve public health outcomes through accessible, top-quality health evaluations and educational offerings.
