We carry out health education services in all our service units, as well as providing eye, diabetes, obesity, mental health scans. We are working together with universities, the Ministry of Health and non-governmental organizations besides our corporate staff capacity, while conducting these works.

Because we are launching the most beautiful example of municipality-private sector cooperation with this project.
