Under the deal, EDGE employees will be able to access routine consultations, diagnostics, speciality referrals, home healthcare support and pharmacy services. The agreement brings Burjeel’s healthcare network closer to EDGE Group staff across the country.
The deal also covers preventive health programmes. These include awareness sessions, health talks and screening campaigns. It is all about early detection of health issues, preventing chronic diseases, and promoting overall wellness of the employees.
Both companies will implement these initiatives within the framework of an integrated activation plan. This initiative involves healthcare services as well as prevention. It will ensure that employees receive assistance not only in terms of their immediate healthcare needs but also on an ongoing basis.
