Automall reported strong participation and positive feedback from employees, describing health education as part of its support for women in the workplace.

The following day, the company partnered with Focus Medical Centre to hold a health check-up campaign at its 3S Facility in Doha’s Industrial Area.

It was the second employee health initiative held in collaboration with the centre. Automall said the activities formed part of its continuing work to promote workplace health and strengthen awareness of preventive care.
