Pioneering medical care provider First Response Healthcare joined forces with noon – the Middle East‘s leading digital marketplace – to offer a day of free health screenings to its delivery drivers as part of a Ramadan initiative aimed at giving back to the community.
This partnership celebrated the hard work of delivery riders who tirelessly serve the community during the Holy Month.
First Response Healthcare organised a comprehensive ‘health camp‘ and transported a team of top doctors, nurses, dentists, physiotherapists and advanced medical equipment to ensure every participant received complete care.
Held at a designated location in Sharjah, the initiative welcomed more than 150 riders.
The health services provided on the day included comprehensive vital sign checkups, BMI assessments, general health consultations, dental hygiene screenings, physiotherapy consultations, and an insightful health awareness talk. The session, titled “Essential Health Tips for Riders,” covered key topics such as hydration, nutrition, and posture, delivered by the company’s experienced medical practitioners.
Prashi Sharma, Chief Strategy Officer of First Response Healthcare, expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to serve the community through this initiative: “Noon and First Response Healthcare share a common mission—bringing quality products and services directly to people‘s homes. While Noon has mastered delivering everyday essentials from electronics to food and groceries, we specialise in healthcare delivery, ensuring people receive the medical care they need right at home 24/7. This shared vision made our Ramadan initiative even more meaningful.”
She added: “Delivery drivers work tirelessly during Ramadan and as the leading home healthcare provider in the UAE, we were proud to support them in their journey towards a healthier lifestyle, this event meant a lot to us.”
The screenings align seamlessly with First Response Healthcare’s mission to revolutionise medical services, making them holistic, accessible, and personalised.
Both companies recognise the crucial role delivery drivers play in modern society, as they ensure the convenience of home delivery services for food, groceries, and other essentials. First Response Healthcare is making medical care just as convenient and accessible at-home.
This shared moment of gratitude and connection between a healthcare provider and a dedicated delivery workforce beautifully encapsulated the spirit of Ramadan—a time for reflection, community, and giving
