Dubai, United Arab Emirates; 20 May 2015: Following
the announcement of complimentary heart health checkups at Majid Al
Futtaim’s shopping malls, City Centre Deira welcomed around 1,000
ladies, who got tested for early detection and preventative measures
against cardiovascular diseases. Checks included blood pressure, blood
sugar, body mass index (BMI) to determine if the women were at risk of
heart disease.
The activity was aimed to
raise awareness on the alarming number of cardiovascular diseases
amongst women, and part of a regional health campaign called ‘Feel the
Beat,’ initiated by Majid Al Futtaim - the leading shopping mall, retail
and leisure pioneer across the Middle East and North Africa.
Every weekend until June 12,

Egypt, Lebanon and Oman, administering a series of preventative tests
for all females. The next testing will take place at City Centre Mirdif on May 22-23 from 11 am – 8pm.
‘Feel the Beat’ is part
of Majid Al Futtaim’s wider programme of health and sustainability
initiatives taking place throughout the year ensuring health, happiness
and creating great moments for everyone, everyday.
