“Check Your Health” campaign in Baljurashi to promote health awareness
A pioneering initiative to promote public health in Al-Baha
The Baha Health Cluster launched a community awareness campaign under the slogan “Check Your Health” in Baljurashi Governorate. The campaign was inaugurated on Thursday in the presence of the Governor of Baljurashi, Mr. Nayef bin Mohammed Al-Hazani, and the CEO of the Cluster, Dr. Ali bin Mohammed Al Mansour, in a move that reflects the official interest in supporting initiatives aimed at raising health awareness and serving members of the community.
In the context of Saudi Vision 2030
This campaign is part of broader national efforts to achieve the goals of Saudi Vision 2030 , which prioritizes the health and quality of life of its citizens. Health clusters, such as the Al-Baha cluster, play a pivotal role in this national transformation, working to restructure the healthcare sector to provide integrated and interconnected care that focuses on prevention rather than treatment. This strategy aims to build a vibrant society where individuals enjoy good health and to reduce the burden on hospitals and treatment centers by encouraging early detection and management of chronic diseases.
Campaign objectives and community partnerships
The “Check Your Health” campaign primarily aims to raise awareness among community members about the importance of regular checkups and early detection of common diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and obesity. It also seeks to promote healthy behaviors and encourage the adoption of healthy lifestyles, including balanced nutrition and regular physical activity. The campaign was implemented in collaboration with active community partners, including the “Ta’atuf” Charitable Society, the “Kabdak Al-Baha” Association, and the Baljurashi Governorate Municipality, demonstrating the importance of partnership between the public and non-profit sectors to achieve shared health goals and reach the largest possible segment of beneficiaries.
Expected impact on society
The direct impact of this initiative lies in enabling residents of Baljurashi and surrounding areas to access free preventive services and health consultations. This contributes to the early detection of diseases, facilitating more effective management and treatment. Nationally, these campaigns represent a successful model that can be replicated in other regions, supporting the Ministry of Health's efforts to transition towards a preventive healthcare model. Investing in health awareness is no less important than investing in treatment infrastructure; it is the cornerstone of a healthier and more productive society and reduces the long-term economic costs associated with treating chronic diseases and their complications. Through these ongoing initiatives, the Al-Baha Health Cluster reaffirms its commitment to serving the community, promoting health awareness, and actively contributing to a sustainable healthcare system that ensures the safety and well-being of all members of society.
