In a significant move to mark World Diabetes Day on November 14, 2025, NMC Healthcare, a leading private healthcare provider in the UAE, has announced the launch of free health screenings across various malls and community shopping centers in the country. The initiative aims to promote early detection and prevention of diabetes, a condition that affects millions globally. The screenings, available without prior appointments at designated NMC kiosks, will include essential tests such as blood cholesterol, blood glucose, blood pressure, and BMI measurements. These tests are crucial for identifying prediabetes and diabetes, enabling timely medical intervention and lifestyle adjustments. Dr. Zaka Ullah Khan, Chief Clinical Officer at NMC Healthcare, emphasized the importance of such initiatives, stating, ‘Diabetes is a pervasive health issue that transcends age and background. Early detection through screenings like these can significantly reduce the risk of severe complications such as heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure. NMC is dedicated to raising awareness about diabetes and empowering individuals to take preventive measures.’ The screenings will be held at multiple locations across the UAE, including Khalidiyah Mall and Yas Mall in Abu Dhabi, The Market Mall in Dubai, and Al Ramez Mall in Sharjah, among others.
