It also commits both organizations to support Kuwait\u2019s national health plans for UHC by designing and deploying community-based health interventions that increase accessibility and effectiveness. Furthermore, the partnership will focus on engaging youth and broader communities in health advocacy and awareness campaigns, emphasizing the interconnectedness of environmental sustainability and public health outcomes.<\/p>\n Dr Assad Hafeez, WHO Representative in Kuwait, highlighted the significance of this partnership, noting its foundation in the shared belief that positive community engagement and attention to mental health, youth, and environmental issues are vital for building healthier societies. Sheikha Intisar Salem Al Ali Al-Sabah, Founder and Chairwoman of Alnowair, echoed this sentiment, stressing that national prosperity is rooted in the wellbeing of its people and reaffirming Alnowair\u2019s commitment to nurturing resilient minds and empowering communities through this collaboration with WHO.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”TO BE EDITED – TEXT OF THE NEWS – BLOCK 2 – Click on the WHEEL icon to open the textarea where you can paste or type your news.
