Hira Cultural District promotes public health in Jeddah
Jeddah — The Hira Cultural District in Makkah has taken a proactive step toward enhancing community health by organizing a series of engaging public health events throughout October.
The initiative, conducted in collaboration with local educational and community organizations, aims to raise awareness about essential health practices and strengthen public readiness for medical emergencies.
The campaign featured interactive workshops led by qualified medical professionals, focusing on first aid, emergency response, and vital lifesaving skills.
Participants learned how to handle cardiac arrest situations and manage airway obstructions — critical interventions that can make the difference in saving lives before professional help arrives.
In addition to training sessions, the Hira Cultural District also offered free health services to visitors. Seasonal vaccinations, blood donation drives, and preventive health screenings were conducted to promote regular health checkups and community wellness.
These services were well received by residents and visitors, reflecting the growing public interest in maintaining a healthier lifestyle.
Officials from the Hira Cultural District emphasized that the initiative aligns with Saudi Vision 2030’s commitment to improving quality of life, community health, and social development.
The district’s efforts also demonstrate its role as more than just a cultural hub — it serves as a center for social awareness, education, and wellbeing.
Visitors praised the initiative for combining education and healthcare access in one platform. By making health awareness both accessible and interactive, the Hira Cultural District has succeeded in fostering a culture of proactive healthcare within the local community.
The event concluded with a pledge to continue similar campaigns in the coming months, expanding outreach to schools, families, and underserved communities across Makkah.
The initiative not only supports the Kingdom’s public health objectives but also encourages individuals to take responsibility for their personal well-being and contribute to a healthier society overall.
