Aster DM Healthcare was awarded the Guinness World Record title for the most pre-diabetes/diabetes screening forms completed in 24 hours, organised for low-income workers at Dubai Investment Park-2.
The certificate was presented by the Official Adjudicator from the Guinness World Records to Dr. Azad Moopen, Founder, chairman and managing director of Aster DM healthcare.
The 24-hour diabetes screening camp was inaugurated on November 19 in the presence of officials from UAE Ministry of Labour, Dubai Police, Dubai Health Authority and Dubai Corporation for Ambulance Services.
In addition to the free screenings provided, workers were able to educate screened individuals to identify the early symptoms of diabetes and get checked on time. For those detected, guidance was provided on next steps and management of diabetes.
“Aster is proud to find a place in the Guinness World Records™ for testing 12714 people for diabetes mellitus within 24 hours. This is aimed at finding out those who are already afflicted as well as at risk of this silent killer, to help them to take curative and preventative measures. We are happy that we could do this among low-income blue-collar workers, who don’t have ready access to testing and treatment. Aster will provide follow-up testing and medical aid to people who were detected to be diabetic in the camp,” said Dr. Azad Moopen, Founder Chairman & Managing Director, Aster DM Healthcare.
“It is great to see that Guinness World Records™ Record Titles are inspiring humanitarian causes such as these. Congratulations, you are officially amazing!” said Alwaleed Osman, the Official Adjudicator at Guinness World Records.
