Aster commits to hiring 100 differently-abled people
dubai — With the aim of helping and empowering differently-abled people in the country, Aster Volunteers joined hands with the ‘Dubai Club for People of Determination’ (formally known as Dubai Club for Disabled) for a collaborative initiative called “Al Amal — The Hope”. The effort was implemented as part of the giving back initiatives by Aster DM Healthcare to mark their ongoing “Aster@30” anniversary celebrations.
The event saw participation from more than 200 differently-abled members and their families. Over 60 external volunteers, close to 30 internal volunteers from various divisions of Aster DM Healthcare, and multiple NGO partners came together to organise interactive entertainment and wellness activities. It was a pleasant experience for all the participants and their family members.
The volunteers also arranged a free medical check-up camp for the attendees with the support of doctors from Medcare Women & Children Hospital, Dubai and Medcare Hospital, Sharjah & Aster Hospital & Clinics, and paramedical staff and nurses from various specialities including general medicine, orthopaedics, paediatric, dentistry, gynaecology and ENT. Further, the medical team demonstrated basic life support awareness and Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training. The attendees also took part in workshops on arts and crafts, paintings and photography.
As testimony to their commitment to the community, Aster DM healthcare is working on recruiting more than 100 differently-abled people in its workforce in GCC and India.
