The Aramco Health Affairs Department in the Western Province (SAA-WP) organized a special day for elderly women at their premises recently.

Sameer Nasruddin, manager of the SAA-WP, said the event was organized in the framework of the United Nations International Day of Older Persons, which is celebrated every year on Oct. 1. “This event forms part of Saudi Aramco’s commitment to social responsibility. The company has previously raised awareness on diabetes and high blood pressure. Aramco checked the eyesight of elderly people at the event,” he said. He said the event attracted hundreds of elderly women.

“The aim of the event was to activate our partnership with society and bring joy to older people who have contributed to society and who were responsible for raising the future generation of leaders,” he said.

Muneerah Al-Akkas, a social activist and family worker, gave a presentation on the keys to successful human relations and the golden rules for building lasting friendships.
