Khaberni - The Egyptian Ministry of Health launched an innovative awareness campaign during Ramadan, aimed at encouraging citizens to lose weight and follow a healthy lifestyle, through a motivational initiative that combines health awareness and monetary prizes.
The ministry announced a competition that offers participants the chance to win 6 gold pounds or 6,000 Egyptian pounds, for those who succeed in losing 6 kilograms of weight during Ramadan, a step aimed at transforming the holy month from a season associated with weight gain to an opportunity for health improvement and fitness recovery.
The ministry allocated weight measurement points in a number of public places, including streets, metro stations, and various locations in the governorates, to facilitate citizen participation and monitor their progress, within the framework of encouraging widespread community participation in the campaign.
This initiative falls within a broader campaign launched by the ministry under the slogan "You are the Solution", which focuses on enhancing health awareness during Ramadan, through providing daily tips that include moderation in eating, reduced sweets consumption, increased water intake, in addition to encouraging physical activities like walking after breaking the fast.
The campaign aims to establish the idea that maintaining health is an individual responsibility, with the necessary support and encouragement being provided to adopt sustainable healthy habits, especially as the month of Ramadan is associated with unhealthy dietary patterns by many.
Through this step, the Egyptian Ministry of Health strives to raise awareness about the risks of obesity and motivate citizens to use the holy month as a starting point towards a healthier life, combining moral motivation and symbolic rewards that enhance participation.
