Gloria Hotels and Resorts, a leading hotel management group, has launched a breast cancer awareness programme in its properties in Dubai, UAE.

The month-long event during October will run at both its Dubai properties – Gloria Hotel and Yassat Gloria Hotel Apartments.

The awareness activities aim to educate participants on early detection of breast cancer and the importance of exercise.

Women from ages 20 to 39 are recommended to have a clinical breast examination by a health professional every three years and a breast exam and mammogram every year. Women are also advised to conduct self-examinations on a monthly basis, along with maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Healthy meals will be served to the hotel guests, who can also consult chefs about a special programmed diet being offered.

Freddy Farid, Gloria Hotels and Resorts’ area general manager, also launched the New York Sports Academy fitness classes at the Gloria Hotel’s Elixir Health Club.

The gyms at both hotels will be kept open for 24 hours as part of the campaign. – TradeArabia News Service
