Employees benefited from medical tests, examinations, information and health advice from doctors and experts at 12 stations covering: safety, nutrition, urology, dermatology, physiotherapy, pharmacy, accident and emergency. This annual health care campaign aims to bring specialist medical services and educational awareness to the yard’s large workforce, in order to promote healthy lifestyles and practices.


At Drydocks World putting the well-being of employees first is a priority, with this strategic aim brought to life by engaging and encouraging staff through workplace wellness initiatives, such as the health care campaign. The contributions from everyone in the yard are what make Drydocks World successful, and their well-being is vital to driving sustainable growth within the company and the Dubai community. Protecting and promoting safety and health in the yard is a continuous objective, to ensure Drydocks World employee’s workplace well-being and prosperity.  


During the health campaign event, Drydocks World – Dubai signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to receive products and services from Galderma to enhance health support provided in the yard. The Dubai Health Authority and Galderma also gave free samples and products to visitors, with specialized information to meet individual needs.

Commenting on the MoU Mr. Ismail said, “Partnering and collaborating with healthcare professionals and suppliers to see how we can best improve health support services for our employees is part of our continuous process improvement plan and our strategic initiative to prioritize the well-being of our staff. We hope to deliver a better experience at Drydocks World to meet medical needs, while cost effectively improving our medical resources.”


Dr. Hesham Abdallah, Galderma Head for ME, Africa, Russia, India and Turkey said, “At Nestle Skin Health we aim to enhance the quality of people’s lives by focusing on science based solutions in skin health and we want to change the way the world talks about skin health.
