Batelco Sponsorship Supports Health Initiatives for Bahrain Residents

Gold Sponsor of 3rd Arab Conference for Obesity and Physical Activity

Batelco, as part of its community support, was the Gold Sponsor for the recent 3rd Arab Conference for Obesity & Physical Activity. The 3 day conference took place at the Gulf Hotel, under the patronage of Chairman of the Board of Trustees Bahrain Centre for Studies and Research, Dr. Mohammed Bin Jassim Al Ghatam.

Participants from Bahrain as well as all Arab and GCC countries attended a number of lectures presented by representatives from GCC and Arab universities and Governmental Research Centres. Following each lecture, an open discussion took place which greatly enhanced the body of information available to support health initiatives.

“The results of studies show that the number of people affected by obesity and inactivity is increasing. We were therefore very pleased to support this event which will help to devise action plans and raise awareness of this important health related issue,” said Batelco Group General Manager Media & Government Relations Ahmed Al Janahi.

During the event, Batelco was presented with an award in recognition of its support, which helped to ensure the success of the conference.
