CrediMax sponsors World Heart Day

A team of specialists from the Cardiac Rehabilitation Unit joined the worldwide campaign against heart disease and stroke by offering free cardiac consultations for the day including a number of heart health checks such as free blood pressure test and blood sugar test that aimed at helping visitors to 'Know Your Risk' - the theme of the World Heart Federation's World Heart Day 2008 campaign.

At the event, booklets were also distributed to help people better understand their personal risk for cardiovascular disease and ways by which it can be controlled and avoided through the implementation of a healthy, well-balanced diet and a proper exercise plan.

For the young, a host of educational and fun games, quizzes and activities were lined up for their entertainment.

'Our efforts for a healthier tomorrow are part of CrediMax's long-term commitment aimed at promoting heart-healthy living lifestyles amongst all through supporting the message of World Heart Day, for a better, longer life and a prosperous future,' said Mr. Mohammed Malik, Chief Executive of CrediMax.

CrediMax's commitment as an active and responsible corporate citizen is evident from its range of activities that include improving standards of living, creating jobs, and supporting sustainable economic development in the Kingdom of Bahrain.
