Ehsan provides several health care and social services to seniors including nursing services, hygiene care, diet counseling, drug treatments and guidance for elderly people and their families. It also covers physical therapy such as examinations, diagnosis and treatment programs designed to reduce pain, improve mobility and restore health. In a step to support Eshan’s duty of care to seniors, Qatalum agreed to further its community-centered vision through a donation.
Qatalum’s support aimed at channeling support to the elderly who need mobility devices in their daily lives. An example of such a device includes a ‘Sit 2 Stand’ Mobility Training Chair – a device that helps the elderly train their muscles to move from a seated position to an upright position on their own. This eliminates third party assistance and keeps them healthy.
