Mobile clinics in Aljada provide health checks under the ‘Etmaenan’ programme.
Emirates Health Services (EHS) has launched a new field initiative aimed at expanding access to preventive health screenings as part of its ‘Etmaenan’ programme.
The campaign, titled ‘We Care About You – Your Coffee Is On Us’, is being carried out through four mobile clinics set up in Aljada, Sharjah, offering free health checks to UAE nationals and GCC citizens aged 18 and above.
Officials said the initiative reflects a proactive approach to bringing healthcare services closer to the community.
Focus on early detection
The campaign offers a range of basic screenings aimed at identifying common lifestyle-related conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity.
Medical teams are also providing comprehensive health assessments, enabling early intervention and follow-up plans where needed.
Officials said early detection plays a key role in reducing long-term health risks and improving overall quality of life.
Taking services to the community
The mobile clinics are equipped with modern medical devices and staffed by specialised healthcare professionals, making it easier for residents to access services in a simple and convenient manner.
The initiative forms part of ongoing efforts to raise awareness about the importance of regular check-ups and encourage people to take a more active role in managing their health.
Etmaenan programme
Emirates Health Services said the “Etmaenan” programme is designed to provide quick and comprehensive screenings in a single visit.
It combines technology with medical expertise to assess health risks and support better healthcare decision-making.
The programme also links results to electronic medical records, helping ensure follow-up care when needed.
Encouraging healthier lifestyles
Issam Al Zarooni said the initiative supports a shift towards a healthcare model centred on prevention.
He noted that Emirates Health Services aims to make screenings more accessible in comfortable settings, encouraging more people to take part in routine health checks.
Karima Al Raisi said the campaign also highlights the role of primary healthcare in promoting early awareness.
She added that helping people understand their health earlier can encourage better habits and reduce the risk of disease.
Strong public response
Officials said the campaign has already received strong public engagement, reflecting growing awareness of the importance of preventive healthcare.
They added that bringing services into everyday spaces helps remove barriers and encourages more people to take part.
Looking ahead
Emirates Health Services said it will continue rolling out similar initiatives as part of its broader strategy to improve community health.
Officials stressed that prevention remains a key priority, with early screening seen as one of the most effective ways to reduce the long-term impact of chronic diseases.
