"Blood pressure tests were conducted for approximately 2500 tent visitors, blood sugar test were conducted for 1,500 visitors and BMI measurements and calculations were conducted for 90 % of all tent visitors," said Alba Chief Nursing Officer, Ebrahim Sabt Al Yassi. "In co-ordination with Bahrain and Delmon opticians, we also conducted 865 eye refraction tests and 209 Audiometry tests for Alba employees, contractor and other visitors to the SHE Week Tent. A total of 156 First Aiders were also awarded with their certificates and presented with a First Aid kit," he said. "During SHE Week, we also conducted various health awareness campaigns," said Al Yassi. "These included campaigns about the Prevention of Eye Injuries, the Prevention of Heat Related Problems and the Importance of a Healthy Diet. We also distributed many medical leaflets," he said. |
