Sharjah24: The Health Promotion Department, part of the Supreme Council for Family Affairs in Sharjah, held a press conference at the council's headquarters to unveil the “Wazin (Balance)” programme's next stage. The event was attended by representatives from the University of Sharjah's College of Health Sciences, the Statistics and Community Development Department, the Human Resources Department, and various government departments. "Wazin" is one of the initiatives and projects held annually under the esteemed patronage of Her Highness Sheikha Jawaher bint Mohammed Al Qasimi, wife of His Highness the Ruler of Sharjah and Chairperson of the Supreme Council for Family Affairs. Its primary objective is to ensure a healthy working environment for all government employees in the Emirate.
Iman Rashid Saif, Director of the Health Promotion Department, announced the launch of 12 standards that will undergo evaluation across approximately 22 institutions. This evaluation process will encompass 80% of the Sharjah government's workforce, and it will address various aspects, including the work environment, occupational accident prevention, enhancements to the psychological and social work environment, access to primary healthcare, support for maternity and paternity, risk reduction for individuals, emergency preparedness, and assistance for individuals with special needs.

She underscored that the second phase of the "Wazin" programme aligns with the department's ongoing efforts to raise health awareness and prioritise employee health, recognising them as fundamental to societal progress. She expressed her sincere appreciation and commendation to Her Highness Sheikha Jawaher bint Mohammed Al Qasimi for her unwavering support and gracious sponsorship of the department's initiatives and projects.
The "Wazin" programme has achieved significant recognition as a prominent health initiative and project on the national level. Over the years, it has marked substantial milestones through a strategic partnership with the University of Sharjah.
