RIYADH: In an era where cardiovascular diseases remain one of the leading causes of preventable illness and death worldwide, early diagnosis and timely intervention have become more important than ever. Emphasizing the importance of preventive healthcare and community well-being, Medical World Polyclinic, in collaboration with leading Indian community organizations in Riyadh, will organize a Free Mega Cardiovascular Screening Camp on Friday, 14 August 2026, from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM at Medical World Polyclinic, Jarir Street, Malaz, Riyadh.
The most alarming aspect of cardiovascular disease is that it often develops silently, showing little or no warning signs until it strikes as a heart attack, stroke, or sudden cardiac arrest. By the time symptoms appear, irreversible damage may already have occurred. The initiative aims to promote the early detection and prevention of cardiovascular diseases by encouraging residents to undergo regular health screenings before symptoms develop. The camp is open to all community members and will be conducted by qualified healthcare professionals. Participants will receive a comprehensive free cardiovascular health screening package, including Body Mass Index (BMI), Blood Pressure (BP), Random Blood Sugar (RBS), Triglycerides, Total Cholesterol, Serum Uric Acid tests, Eye and Dental Check-ups, and a General Practitioner (GP) consultation.
Medical World Polyclinic emphasized that cardiovascular disease remains one of the leading causes of illness and premature death worldwide. It noted that early detection through regular health screening and timely medical intervention can significantly reduce the risk of serious complications and promote better long-term health.
The press meet witnessed the enthusiastic participation of representatives from the clinic and leading social organizations, united by a common mission to build a healthier community. Encouraging people to remain fit as a fiddle, they stressed that regular health screenings, timely medical intervention, and healthy living are the keys to preventing cardiovascular diseases and ensuring a better quality of life.
Among those present were Dr. Santhosh Prem Winfred, Ayyappadi Zakir Hussain, Janardhanan, Arun Kumar, Vivek Rajendran, Noor Mohamed, Sadik Basha, Noor Mohd, Prince Pandian, Syed Maraikar, Dr. Waleed Al Ahmed, Dr. Basim Alwad, Yasir Adil, and Mohd. Abul Latheef Ibrahim. Their collective presence underscored the spirit of collaboration and dedication, laying the foundation for a fecund alliance that will inspire greater public awareness, promote preventive healthcare, and ensure the resounding success of the upcoming health initiative.
