Nahdi Medical Company, Saudi Arabia’s largest retail pharmacy chain and leading healthcare provider, has collaborated with the National Platform for Charitable Work (Ehsan), to launch the “Move to Donate” event during the month of Ramadan. The event aims to raise awareness about the importance of personal health and the health of ones in need through donations.
With 35 years of experience in the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors, Nahdi aims to enhance the lives of millions of people in Saudi Arabia through effective health and wellness education programs, as part of its “Beats of Hope” corporate social sustainability strategy.
The “Move to Donate” event is part of Nahdi’s ongoing efforts to promote preventive healthcare in Saudi Arabia and positively impact the community to adopt an active and healthy lifestyle. With the objective of exercise and movement, guests are invited to register and undergo a short health checkup, supervised by Nahdi’s health experts, before choosing their preferred type of exercise.
For every kilometer achieved by guests, Nahdi will donate SR150 ($40) to Ehsan, aiming to reach a fundraising target of SR150,000, to provide medical relief for those in need.
Guests can also opt to donate directly to the Ehsan platform through the donation campaign link: https://ehsan.sa/donationcampaign/details/165829
“Move to Donate” has successfully taken place on April 10 at Granada Mall, Riyadh and on April 15 at Red Sea Mall, Jeddah. The event will commence on April 24 at Mall of Dhahran in the Eastern Province, from 9 p.m. to 1:30 a.m.
Yasser Joharji, CEO of Nahdi Medical Company, said: “‘Move to Donate’ is part of Nahdi’s ongoing drive to add ‘Beats of Hope’ to our community. Operating for more than three decades has helped us understand the needs of our guests and bridge the knowledge gap through promoting healthcare and playing a proactive role in helping to build better and healthier communities based on good education, better access to care, and informed choices, which Nahdi brings through innovation, continued growth and partnerships. We are glad to be launching this initiative with Ehsan and look forward to welcoming all our guests during the holy month of Ramadan.”
Within its efforts to support charitable work across the Kingdom, the Ehsan platform, supervised by the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority, has raised more than SR1.4 billion from 22 million donor operations and distributed financial aid to more than 4.3 million beneficiaries since its launch in March 2021.
