In an effort to raise awareness of the risks of tobacco, NMC Healthcare is actively participating in making this day a success by displaying posters on the ill-effects of consuming tobacco and smoking.
Every year on May 31, countries worldwide observe World No Tobacco Day (WNTD) that is promoted by the World Health Organization (WHO). The theme of World No Tobacco Day
NMC Healthcare observesWorld No Tobacco Day
2012 is “tobacco industry interference”.
Tobacco use is one of the leading preventable causes of death. The global tobacco epidemic kills nearly 6 million people each year, of which more than 600,000 are people exposed to second-hand smoke. Unless we act, it will kill up to 8 million people by 2030, of which more than 80% will live in low- and middle-income countries.
Recent studies have shown that smoking rates have risen at to an alarming level in the UAE. 24.3% of males between the ages of 13-15 are currently smoking tobacco products while as many as 42% of 17 year old males have developed smoking habits. Of the total male adult population in the country, 20% are smokers. (Source – report from a newspaper)

NMC Healthcare used this startling bit of information to create an advertisement and a poster (using sign language) to remind people about the ill-effects of consuming tobacco and smoking.

NMC Healthcare in Women’s “3F” show
“A mother›s joy begins when new life is stirring inside... when a tiny heartbeat is heard for the very first time, and a playful kick reminds her that she is never alone.”
As soon as you see that pregnancy test is a positive, feeling of motherhood sets in. You start thinking about pregnancy, lots of questions arises, am I having good health? What I should do to have healthy baby? When I should consult a doctor and so on…..
No doubt about it, pregnancy can be one of the worrisome times in a woman›s life. One more life is growing inside our body. We often hear pregnancy is not a disease but it’s a normal natural phenomenon but we should take care and protect life from external dangers like stressors, chemicals, radiations, injuries etc .most of the pregnant women are anxious and some time depressed these mood
swings are due to hormonal changes. Stressing out about every little thing you come into contact with can cause adverse effect on fetal growth so it is important to know about psychological care.
Following are the some tips to promote mental health during pregnancy
• Be happy always with positive attitude towards pregnancy• Acquire adequate knowledge about pregnancy and clear your all doubts.• Get spouse support; share your feelings with him.• Keep yourself busy with recreational activities like reading books, listening music, watching television, playing games etc.• Don’t involve yourself in unwanted thinking.• Take adequate rest and sleep for 2 to 3 hours during day time and 8-10 hours during night.• Smile and laugh. Have your best friends over for tea and enjoy
Psychological CareDuring Pregnancy
• Yawn. Yes, yawn. Repeated yawning resets the brain, releases our “happy” hormones and helps the body to feel better• Move! Talk a 10 minute walk, swim for half and hour, dance to your favorite music.• Often keep your both hands over the abdomen and enjoy fetal kick count• Talk with your baby and listen the tiny heart beats• Do deep breathing exercises and meditation which makes you more relaxed• Avoid fights and arguments• Try not be alone at home instead have family and friends visits.
