Doha, Qatar: QGIRCO commemorated World Diabetes Day with a comprehensive health awareness initiative at its headquarters, reinforcing its commitment to employee wellbeing and community health.

In a thoughtful celebration held yesterday, QGIRCO employees were welcomed to the office with specially customised mugs featuring the message ‘Stay Sweet Without Sugar’, designed to motivate employees to go sugar-free every time they are used.

The mugs will further serve as a daily reminder of the importance of diabetes prevention and healthy lifestyle choices, encouraging small but meaningful changes in everyday habits.

The CSR initiative, conducted in partnership with the Qatar Diabetes Association (QDA), provided employees with valuable resources to better understand and manage their health. A one-day health camp was organised by QDA, offering complimentary medical check-ups, including blood sugar testing and screening, empowering employees to proactively manage and prevent diabetes.

Group CEO of QGIRCO,  Aimen Azara shared, “At QGIRCO, we believe that our greatest asset is our people, and their health and wellbeing are paramount to our success.

World Diabetes Day is an opportunity to raise awareness about the disease and equip our employees with knowledge and tools to lead healthier lives. Our partnership with the Qatar Diabetes Association reflects a meaningful investment in the long-term health objectives of our team.”

World Diabetes Day, observed annually on November 14 is dedicated to raising awareness about diabetes, a condition affecting millions worldwide. QGIRCO’s initiative aligns with global efforts to promote early detection, prevention, and management of diabetes while supporting Qatar’s national health priorities. The company’s partnership with the Qatar Diabetes Association underscores QGIRCO’s ongoing commitment to corporate social responsibility and community health initiatives that create lasting positive impact.
