DOHA: Qatar Development Bank (QDB), will team up with Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC), to celebrate the country’s National Sport Day by launching its ‘Time to Change’ campaign.
QDB and HMC will have two tents at the Corniche and Aspire Park providing a team of qualified nurses and dietitians in both locations for Body Mass Index (BMI) testing. The test helps in measuring body fat due to obesity, which is becoming a problem in most countries.
Additionally, Raw ME, an up and coming Qatari vegan fast food chain founded by Qatari entrepreneur Layla Al Dorani, will partake in the initiative providing 100 per cent fresh juices in line with their aim to be the vanguards of healthy and nutritious diet in the country.
Mansour Bin Ibrahim Al Mahmoud (pictured), CEO of Qatar Development Bank, said: “The significance of National Sport Day lies in spreading education and awareness within our society about the necessity to place very high importance on embracing a healthy lifestyle. At QDB, we believe that as a modern and progressive organisation in Qatar we must commit a major effort in order to enlighten our community to the positive consequences of living well. We also believe that occasions such as the National Sport Day are great motivational platforms for us all to introduce that little bit of change which could lead to remarkable impacts on our lives, both personally and professionally.”
