World Health Day commemorated at Muscat City Centre by Muscat Private Hospital

To help create a healthier future for the sultanate's residents, Muscat City Centre along with Muscat Private Hospital (MPH) had jointly organised a daylong health camp at Muscat City Centre.

The corridor adjacent to the Carrefour Hypermarket became the chosen venue for the camp. MPH was offering free health checkups to all those walking in from 10 am to 10 pm. Interested candidates could opt for various blood checkups for testing sugar levels and blood pressure were conducted free of cost. Testing sugar levels and blood pressure are prime indicators of diagnosing a host of other diseases; hence these were offered free of cost.

This year's focus is on international health security.
