Mubadala Health Dubai, a M42 company, has announced that it has partnered with Dubai Fitness Challenge (DFC) as Association Partner to encourage communities within Dubai to invest in their health through routine physical activity.
Mubadala Health Dubai and its team of leading Sports Medicine and Orthopedic experts have curated a series of exciting activations at the three-floor Mubadala Health Dubai Gym, located at DFC’s renowned DP World Kite Beach Fitness Village and powered by Technogym, to help kick-start healthier habits.
Launched in 2017, DFC was created by His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai Crown Prince, and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai, to catalyse people into prioritising their health by undertaking 30 minutes of exercise daily for 30 days.
For an entire month, DFC transforms Dubai into a city-wide gym featuring a 30-day calendar of free and inclusive villages, events, and activities to support people in their 30X30 goals, delivered in conjunction with organisations across the UAE.
Aligned with DFC’s goal to support individuals for a fitter and healthier future, Mubadala Health Dubai uses M42’s wider network of technology-enabled services that present patients with innovative solutions for their medical needs.
Mubadala Health Dubai said it aims to help patients lead an active lifestyle in a “safe and effective manner,” and is staffed by a multidisciplinary team of specialists, including orthopaedics, sports medicine, physiotherapy, rehabilitation, nutrition, weight management, family medicine and more.
Dr. Hasan Elias Baydoun, Associate Medical Director for Surgical Services, and Head of Orthopedics at Mubadala Health Dubai, said: “As Mubadala Health Dubai, we are highly motivated to partake in Dubai Fitness Challenge. While we have always encouraged our community to remain active and vigilant about their health, DFC provides us the opportunity to amplify these messages and encourages individuals to take charge of their fitness. At our facility, we support patients at a wide range of fitness and athletic levels – ranging from those training for Olympic-level events to those leading largely sedentary lifestyles – and provide adequate services that address their needs.
“Through this collaboration, we hope to drive home the importance of leading an active lifestyle as a countermeasure to prevalent lifestyle diseases. We are keen to be on-ground, engaging with the wider community and supporting them with the knowledge needed to optimize performance and physical health,” continued Dr. Baydoun.
Mubadala Health Dubai said it is also focused on tackling lifestyle-related choices that can lead to future health challenges, and noted it has leveraged robotics and the latest medical technologies to complete a series of successful breakthrough surgeries.
Mubadala Health Dubai said that as an invested community partner, it continues to remain committed to serving communities in Jumeirah and beyond.
The clinic and day surgery centre currently counts partnerships with various community groups and is focused on education and literacy around common health conditions, specifically sports-related conditions that might otherwise be neglected.
