Sharjah Islamic Bank Organizes 'Health Day' to Promote a Balanced Lifestyle Among Employees
As part of its ongoing commitment to employee wellbeing and its efforts to foster a culture of wellness and quality of life in the workplace, Sharjah Islamic Bank (SIB) organized a two-day "Health Day – For a Better Lifestyle" initiative at both its main branch in Al Khan and the Mleiha branch, with strong engagement and positive interaction from staff across departments. A Comprehensive Health Experience Organized by the SIB Employee Club in collaboration with a number of medical institutions and specialized healthcare companies, the event aimed to offer employees a comprehensive health experience—allowing them to assess their health status and receive immediate, personalized consultations from qualified professionals. Investing in Human Capital and Promoting Healthy Lifestyles Jassem AlBlooshi, Head of Strategic Management at Sharjah Islamic Bank, commented: 'At Sharjah Islamic Bank, we believe that a healthy workplace begins with a healthy individual. That's why we are keen to launch continuous initiatives that support the physical and mental wellbeing of our employees. This Wellness Day is an extension of our broader strategy to invest in human capital and to encourage the adoption of active, healthy lifestyles. Employee wellbeing is not optional for us—it is a central pillar in building a productive and cohesive work environment.' He further emphasized that such wellness activities are an integral part of the bank's long-term commitment to corporate responsibility, focusing on empowering human resources, raising awareness in the workplace, and promoting institutional stability, wellbeing, and sustainability. Comprehensive Screenings and Consultations Health services provided during the event included blood pressure checks, random blood sugar testing, full dental evaluations with a specialist, body composition analysis, musculoskeletal consultations, physiotherapy assessments, as well as hair and skin evaluations. Additionally, employees received specialized advice in nutrition and preventive healthcare—tailored to their individual needs. The event also featured the distribution of gift items and free screening vouchers, alongside multilingual educational materials designed to raise preventive awareness and offer practical lifestyle improvement tips. 'Health Pulse' Awareness Lecture On the sidelines of the wellness campaign, SIB hosted an awareness lecture titled 'Health Pulse' at its headquarters. The session was presented by a panel of specialists in cardiology, orthopedics, and physiotherapy, and addressed common modern-day health challenges and effective prevention strategies. To extend the benefit to a wider audience, the lecture was streamed live via SIB's official Instagram account, enabling the public to access medically sound advice in real time.

Career milestone
Renowned Bahraini composer and conductor Wahid Al Khan has received an official invitation from the government of Saint Petersburg, Russia, to perform at the prestigious Saint Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), scheduled for June 2025. The Kingdom of Bahrain will participate in the event as the guest of honor. This recognition marks a significant milestone in Al Khan's distinguished international career, following the success of his previous performances in Russia. His concerts drew large audiences and received critical acclaim across Europe, further cementing his reputation on the global stage. As part of the forum's cultural program, a new collaborative musical initiative titled 'Symphony of Music: Russia– Bahrain' will be launched. The project will feature Al Khan conducting the St. Petersburg Symphony Orchestra in a performance celebrating the 35th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Bahrain and Russia. The symphony is intended to serve as a symbol of the deep-rooted cultural and humanitarian ties between the two nations. The event also forms part of the broader 'Bahrain Days' celebrations in Russia — an initiative that underscores the strong and growing cooperation between the two countries, particularly in cultural and economic spheres.
