His Excellency the Minister of Health, Dr. Tawfiq Al-Rabiah, will participate next Friday (March 15th, 2019) in the walking campaign that will be launched by the Ministry of Health (MOH) throughout all regions and governorates in the Kingdom under the theme:#Walk30 (in Arabic: #امش30).
“The campaign will start next Friday (after ‘Asr prayer) from campus of Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University in Riyadh, coinciding with other events that will be launched for one month in collaboration with a number of organizations and companies in the cities and governorates,” stated MOH, highlighting that the campaign aims, in contribution to realizing the Saudi Vision 2030, to raise the public awareness about walking and healthy lifestyle in the community; as walking helps improve mood, maintain heart health, prevent chronic diseases, lose weight, and strengthen bones and joints.
Such awareness-raising activities come as part of MOH’s efforts to maintain the health and safety of society members, raise health awareness, and encourage adopting the proper behaviors.
