Qatar International Islamic Bank (QIIB) hosted a Health Day for its employees at the Bank’s headquarters, in partnership with Qatar Red Crescent, reinforcing an ongoing collaboration between the two organisations.
Held at the end of December 2025, the initiative aimed to raise awareness about common health issues, promote daily wellness practices, and encourage employees to adopt a sustainable, healthy lifestyle. The event also formed part of QIIB’s broader commitment to enhancing occupational safety standards well into 2026.
Employees from across the Bank’s departments and divisions actively participated in the Health Day, reflecting QIIB’s dedication to fostering a workplace that prioritises public health, prevention, and self-care. The programme included a series of interactive medical screenings designed to increase health awareness and enable employees to take proactive steps towards well-being. Screenings offered during the event included blood pressure checks, blood sugar testing, body mass index (BMI) measurements, and vision assessments, along with specialised health consultations tailored to individual needs. These activities provided employees with a clear understanding of their current health status and practical guidance on improving their lifestyle habits.
Commenting on the initiative, Ali Hamad Al-Mesaifri, Chief of Human Resources and Administration at QIIB, said, “We organised this Health Day because we believe that good health is essential to building a stable and sustainable institution. A healthy employee is better equipped to contribute, innovate, and perform, which in turn enhances overall work quality and the work environment. Our focus on the health and well being of all employees also supports Qatar National Vision 2030, which highlights the importance of health as a key pillar of human development.”
He added, “At QIIB, we are keen to adopt impactful initiatives that raise health awareness and encourage our employees to take care of their daily well-being, not only through medical check-ups, but also by promoting a culture of prevention and supporting a healthy, balanced lifestyle.”
Al-Mesaifri emphasised the significance of the partnership with Qatar Red Crescent, noting, “Our collaboration with Qatar Red Crescent reflects the Bank’s commitment to partnering with leading national institutions known for their extensive expertise. Initiatives like this demonstrate QIIB’s dedication to its social responsibility toward its employees and its ongoing efforts to provide a work environment that supports both physical and mental well-being.”
Concluding his remarks, he said, “We hope this initiative will encourage our employees to take full advantage of the screenings and consultations offered, and to continue prioritizing their health. QIIB remains committed to organizing similar health-focused initiatives that align with our institutional vision.”
Through events such as this Health Day, QIIB continues to reinforce a culture of health, prevention, and employee well-being, integrating these values into its organisational ethos.
