The Ministry of Health has launched a national health initiative dubbed “Know Your Numbers”, targeting all community members. It aims to raise awareness about the importance of knowing and following up 4 vital signs that affect an individual’s health, including measurement of blood sugar, blood pressure, waist circumference and body mass index. Beneficiaries can obtain these numbers via “Sehhaty” app, follow them up and get health tips with ease and comfort. On its Twitter account and “Live Well” platform, MOH has posted a set of introductory infographic about the campaign.
It is worth mentioning that this awareness campaign comes in continuation of MOH’s efforts to maintain the health and safety of all members of society, promote health awareness, and encourage the adoption of healthy behaviors and prevention of chronic diseases’ complications.
