Careem, a ride-hailing service in the Middle East and North Africa, recently provided its captains in Qatar with the opportunity to receive free medical check-ups. The consultations were provided in cooperation with Aster Medical Center.

Focusing on major health issues and using early detection techniques, the medical check-ups included a free doctor’s consultation, along with tests that provided the Captains with their BMIs, blood pressure readings, lipid profiles, and blood sugar levels. In cases where additional testing or investigation was required, the Captains received a discount on their future visits.  

Husain Alshehabi, Business Development Manager of Emerging Markets at Careem, said, “In order to provide flexible, safe, and convenient services to our clients, it is important for us to ensure a fleet of happy, healthy Captains.”
