Living in the UAE can make it tough to stay fit, especially with tempting food everywhere. But Abu Dhabi has stepped up its game with an exciting new initiative: a Personalised Weight Management Programme. This is not just about quick fixes; it focuses on long-term health to prevent serious diseases.
Launched by the Abu Dhabi Department of Health and the Public Health Centre, this program combines digital monitoring with expert support. It’s unique in the Middle East, offering a tailored approach to weight management. You’ll get personalized plans based on your health goals and needs.
So, who can join? If you’re 18 or older, have Thiqa insurance, and fall into the overweight or obese categories, this program is for you. Once enrolled, you’ll begin with a comprehensive health screening. Following that, the real work starts:
- Personal coaching from wellness professionals who genuinely care.
- Customized diet and exercise plans designed for your fitness level and goals.
- Activity tracking through the Sahatna health app.
- Real-time feedback to help you understand what’s effective.
- Medical oversight with regular check-ins to keep you on track.
The aim is straightforward: to empower you to make informed choices, record real progress, and maintain consistency. This helps you take charge of your health and habits.
Why is this important? A growing number of lifestyle-related diseases are appearing in the region. By focusing on preventative health, Abu Dhabi is leading the way in a much-needed health revolution. Authorities hope to inspire other cities facing similar challenges to adopt this model.
The initiative also reflects a broader trend toward personalized health solutions. According to a recent report by the World Health Organization, personalized health management programs can significantly improve outcomes for people struggling with weight-related issues. This makes Abu Dhabi’s initiative not only timely but also potentially transformative.
With digital tools and expert backing, Abu Dhabi is setting new standards for personal health. It’s more than just a program; it’s a commitment to making health personal and meaningful.
As the community embraces this change, one thing is clear: Abu Dhabi is ready to support you on your health journey.
