PRIME Health plants 100 trees in Ghadeer Al Tair as part of 'My Name, My Tree, My PRIME' 2025 sustainability initiative
In alignment with the UAE's sustainability goals and national strategies for climate resilience, PRIME Health continued its signature environmental initiative, 'My Name, My Tree, My PRIME,' by planting 100 trees near the peaceful Ghadeer Al Tair Lake. The initiative brought together PRIME's long-serving staff, loyal patients, and their families — each tree planted in their names as a tribute to their trust, commitment, and contribution to PRIME's journey.
This initiative forms a key pillar of PRIME Health's broader sustainability and community well-being strategy, supporting UAE government efforts to foster a greener, healthier future.
Dr Jamil Ahmed, founder and managing director of PRIME Health, shared:
"This is more than a symbolic gesture. Every tree planted represents a promise—to our environment, to our people, and to future generations. We believe in giving back to the community that has trusted us for over 25 years."
The event celebrated employees who have completed 10 years with PRIME, alongside loyal patients who have been an integral part of the organisation's journey. Both groups were invited to plant trees in their names, creating a lasting and symbolic legacy of partnership and purpose.
Dr Tasneem Jamil, deputy managing director, added:
"We are proud to integrate sustainability into the very fabric of our organisation. Involving our staff and patients reflects how healthcare, gratitude, and green values can come together in a single meaningful moment."
This year's activity builds on the success of the 2024 edition, where PRIME planted 600 neem and ghaf trees near Nad Al Sheba Lake 2, in collaboration with Dubai Municipality, the Rashid Center for People of Determination, and under the patronage of the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment.
"My Name, My Tree, My PRIME" continues to grow as a long-term initiative— bridging environmental consciousness, preventive care, and community engagement at the heart of healthcare.

Dubai Municipality launches comprehensive campaign to enhance customer experience at abattoirs during Eid Al-Adha
Dubai, United Arab Emirates: Dubai Municipality has launched a comprehensive campaign to ensure a safe, hygienic, and streamlined experience for customers at its official abattoirs during Eid Al-Adha. The initiative ensures an environment equipped with integrated services dedicated to the inspection and preparation of sacrificial animals in line with the highest standards of public health and food safety, guaranteeing that the emirate's community enjoys a safe and healthy Eid. All four abattoirs — Al Qusais, Al Quoz, Al Lisaili, and Hatta — are fully prepared to receive sacrificial requests and deliver services promptly and reliably. Operations have been optimised across all stages of the sacrifice process, including pre- and post-slaughter veterinary inspections conducted by specialised veterinarians to enhance public health protection. Qualified, well-trained butchers will be on site throughout the Eid period. In addition, an advanced sterilisation system has been deployed to preserve meat quality and prevent contamination across the production line. As part of the campaign, the Municipality is encouraging the public to use approved smart applications to book, pay for, and receive their sacrifices. These apps allow customers to avoid livestock markets or abattoirs entirely, with options for home delivery by trained personnel using dedicated vehicles that meet strict hygiene and safety requirements. Adel Al Karrani, Director of the Public Health Services Department at Dubai Municipality, affirmed that the health and safety of the community remain a top priority. 'This campaign is part of Dubai Municipality's wider public health system and reflects our commitment to ensuring a seamless and safe customer experience through our accredited abattoirs,' said Al Karrani. 'Each facility is equipped with modern technologies, skilled personnel, and integrated smart systems that increase operational capacity while maintaining the highest levels of food safety.' He added that maintenance works have been completed at Al Qusais Abattoir ahead of the holiday to further enhance service quality and customer satisfaction. Dubai Municipality has set the operating hours for all its abattoirs from 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM throughout the Eid Al-Adha holiday. To support the campaign's objectives, the Municipality has implemented a comprehensive plan to manage livestock markets during the busy Eid period. Between 60,000 and 80,000 heads of livestock are expected to enter the markets during Eid week. Inspection teams will be deployed to ensure the quality of livestock, monitor areas with high footfall, and regulate the movement of people and vehicles through key entry and exit points — especially during Arafat Day and the main days of Eid. Dubai Municipality has issued a public reminder of the dangers associated with unauthorised slaughtering outside official abattoirs. Such practices pose significant risks to both public health and the environment. The public is urged to rely on the Municipality's approved smart services and certified abattoirs to ensure that sacrifices are conducted safely, hygienically, and in accordance with all legal and religious guidelines. -Ends- For media inquiries, please contact:

Eid Al Adha 2025: Dubai ramps up inspections of food, markets ahead of holiday
As Eid Al Adha approaches, Dubai Municipality has intensified its inspection efforts to ensure public health during the holiday period. Approximately 150 specialised inspectors and field monitors will be deployed across the emirate to oversee compliance in key areas, including food safety, environmental health, and public safety. In the lead-up to the festivities, field teams from the Food Safety Department have been conducting thorough inspections at various food establishments such as markets, retail outlets, butcher shops, and shopping centres. These visits are focused on ensuring that all stages of food handling — from storage and preparation to transportation — comply with strict safety standards to protect consumers during the Eid celebrations. Eid Al Adha is a time when families and friends gather in large numbers, and this year, UAE residents will enjoy a four-day weekend starting Thursday, June 5. With increased activity across the city, the Municipality's inspection campaigns are also extending to a wide range of venues, including hotels, salons and beauty centres, shisha cafés, entertainment spots, cinemas, labour accommodations, and community labour markets in areas like Muhaisnah 2 and Al Quoz. Inspection teams will pay close attention to the condition of air and water systems, temperature regulation, sterilisation practices, pest control, maintenance logs, and the presence of qualified lifeguards at swimming pools. General cleanliness and adherence to environmental and health standards will be top priorities. Safety of products In addition to venue inspections, the Municipality has also launched dedicated campaigns to monitor the safety of consumer products being sold across local markets and retail outlets. These inspections ensure that products comply with health and safety standards, particularly during the Eid period when demand is extremely high. Last month, Dubai Municipality reassured the public that abattoirs in the emirate adhere to the highest public health standards to provide the public with a high-quality service experience during Eid celebrations. Residents also have the option of ordering their sacrificial animals from grocery shopping apps like Careem and Noon. To support public participation, Dubai Municipality has confirmed its readiness to receive complaints and reports throughout the Eid holiday. Community members can report any concerns related to food safety, environmental conditions, or public health via the 'Dubai 24/7' smart app or by calling the Municipality's hotline at 800 900.
