QMI Raises Awareness of Obesity and Healthy Lifestyles
In line with Hamad Medical Corporation’s (HMC) commitment to provide each and every one of its patients with the safest, most effective and compassionate care possible, the Qatar Metabolic Institute (QMI) at HMC raises awareness about the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle and educates the public on the negative impact of being overweight or obese as this can not only affect quality of life, but it is strongly linked to preventable chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, lung disease and certain cancers, among many others.
