One of Bahrain’s top healthcare groups is gearing up to organise a cyclothon later this month to raise awareness about diabetes, building on the success of a ‘record-breaking’ walkathon held over the weekend.
On Friday, Al Hilal Healthcare Group hosted the fourth edition of its ‘Defeat Diabetes’ Walkathon, in collaboration with Solidarity Bahrain, attracting more than 3,000 participants.
The ‘Defeat Diabetes’ Cyclothon will take place on November 28 at Zallaq.
“It’s heartening to see so many people come together for such an important cause,” said Al Hilal Healthcare Group chief executive Dr Sharath Chandran.
“Our mission is to raise awareness about diabetes and the benefits of leading a healthy lifestyle.
“We are proud to have such an enthusiastic response from the community, and Al Hilal Healthcare will continue to support and organise events like this in the future to help combat diabetes.”
The walkathon was organised in support of World Diabetes Day at Dohat Arad Park.
This year’s walkathon was the largest yet, attracting more than 3,000 participants, double the number from last year.
