Majid Al Futtaim, the leading shopping mall, communities, retail and leisure pioneer across the Middle East, Africa and Asia, is encouraging women to protect their heart with a free health screening at My City Centre Sur on October 5 and 6 from 4pm to 10pm as part of Majid Al Futtaim’s annual ‘Feel the Beat’ heart health awareness campaign in partnership with the Ministry of Health represented by the Directorate General of Health Services, Muscat and Ash Sharqiyah South Region.

Now in its 10th year, the campaign aims to raise awareness about cardiovascular disease (CVD), especially among women. 

Following the hugely successful screenings hosted by City Centre Muscat and                   City Centre Qurum, My City Centre Sur will give women a chance to get screen.  The complimentary health check-up for women will be administered by medical professionals from the Ministry of Health. Tests will include those to check blood pressure, blood sugar, and body mass index (BMI) to determine whether they are at risk for cardiovascular diseases, and if they require a follow-up consultation for further investigation. 
Cardiovascular disease (CVD), is a general term for conditions affecting the heart or blood vessels and is usually associated with a build-up of fatty deposits inside the arteries – known as atherosclerosis   – and an increased risk of blood clots . 

 ‘Feel the Beat’ is one of Majid Al Futtaim’s social impact programmes to enhance people’s lives and is in line with its vision to deliver great moments for everyone, every day.
