Dubai, May 4: Around 1000 participants and over 2500 visitors attended the event, which also had a special presentation on Traffic Safety by Dubai Police’s traffic department. It was a fun-filled evening with lots of information, contests, prizes and priceless interactions for new and expectant moms who thronged the city's Thumbay Hospital in large numbers on Friday April 29 to attend ‘Mom’s Day Out’, a unique annual program to entertain and enlighten the participants on pregnancy and motherhood. Around 1000 participants and a total of over 2500 visitors were present at the event.
The event was an exclusive occasion for moms to understand motherhood better through a variety of activities like expert sessions, games and contests, exhibitions and interactions. They also had the chance to win many cool prizes as part of the contests held. The event was designed as a complete and comprehensive programme with activities across four zones, namely, diet and nutrition zone, awareness and information zone, health and wellness zone and happiness zone. Participants included women from all over the UAE.
The event helped many participants overcome their anxieties on motherhood and clear common misconceptions on pregnancy, as they attended special talks by senior gynecologists, pediatricians, dieticians and other experts. The expert doctors stressed the importance of the special care pregnant and lactating women needed during Ramadan. A wide range of prenatal and antenatal products were also showcased and demonstrated before them. Visitors were also able to book Thumbay Hospital’s specially discounted maternity package, at the event. Prizes for the ‘Are you a Supermom?’ Facebook contest held as part of the event were also awarded to the winners.
There was also a special presentation on traffic safety at the venue by Dubai police’s traffic department, as part of the campaign launched last month, in partnership with Thumbay Hospital.
Akbar Moideen Thumbay, vice president of the healthcare division of Thumbay Group said that the annual Mom’s Day Out was a unique offering of Thumbay Hospital to new and expectant moms, to make their motherhood journey a pleasant one. “Through this event, we not only educate the participants, but also give them a chance to avail free specialized consultations and the opportunity to book our discounted maternity packages,” he added.
The Thumbay Hospital network has been regularly conducting health and wellness events for new, expectant and experienced moms in the UAE, at its hospitals in Dubai, Ajman, Sharjah and Fujairah. The hospitals also offer discounted delivery packages time and again, as part of their CSR activities.
