Park Regis Kris Kin Hotel Dubai Joins Fight against Diabetes

A team of enthusiastic staff members of the Park Regis Kris Kin Hotel Dubai joined the fight against diabetes as they participated in Beat Diabetes Walk 2014, organized by Landmark Group at Zabeel Park, Dubai.

In its sixth annual year, the community-centric initiative called upon the UAE residents to raise awareness about diabetes. The annual gathering also provided opportunity to meet fitness and nutrition experts and to conduct free blood glucose tests, besides fun activities like face-painting, balloon bending and Fitness First warm-ups. The specially created Kids Zone with arts and crafts, bouncy castle, magic show, mime act was another attraction. The participants also enjoyed live music and healthy refreshments.

Mr. Scott Butcher, General Manager of Park Regis Kris Kin Hotel Dubai, said that he was quite impressed by the passion shown by his team members as they participated in the Walk for the third consecutive year. Education, continuous public awareness and adoption of healthy lifestyle are the only ways to manage diabetes and other lifestyle diseases.

“In the modern world, healthcare providers ensure that the best advice and treatment are available to patients. Yet everyone needs to realize that prevention is better than cure. Activities like this walk raise awareness about causes and prevention of diabetes. This is particularly important for people in the Gulf region as they require extensive health awareness programmes and medical care, in line with the changes happening in the society. One of the major reasons is the sedentary lifestyle leading to poor health conditions like diabetes, hypertension and other diseases.”

The Park Regis Kris Kin Hotel Dubai staff frequently participates in such campaigns as part of the hotel’s CSR initiatives in aid of raising awareness of the genetic disorder, breast cancer, diabetes, autism or just to promote the benefits of a healthier lifestyle. The hotel has also been making great strides in checking its carbon footprint by incorporating best environmental practices.
