November 28, 2024: Dubai – United Arab Emirates: Cigna Healthcare, a leading global health services company, recently brought its mission of enhancing the health and vitality of the people we serve to life with the latest edition in the series of free health screenings and wellness initiatives. The most recent edition, designed to support those in essential roles such as drivers, chefs, housekeeping staff, capped off a year of giving back, leaving a meaningful impact as 2024 draws to a close.

The initiative provided employees with health checkups, including blood sugar, blood pressure, BMI assessments, and dental examinations conducted by a team of general practitioners, nurses, and dentists. It was supported by key in-network providers, including Crowns Polyclinic, Novitas, Aster/Access and Amber Clinics, ensuring expert care and guidance.

This activation is part of a broader series of initiatives led by Cigna Healthcare throughout the year, focusing on enhancing the well-being of individuals in essential roles, in construction, manufacturing and maintenance across Dubai, who contribute to the foundation of the country. By working alongside partners, Cigna Healthcare continues to ensure accessible and inclusive health services for diverse communities across the region.

Through these initiatives, we aim to foster a bright future where more individuals can meet their physical, mental, and emotional health needs. Our goal is to build a community rooted in support and compassion.'
