The United Nations has registered Al-Udailiah district as a healthy town as part of its international network of healthy towns, following suit of another Kuwaiti district that had been chosen for healthy features, Al-Yarmouk.
The announcement was made on Monday by Dr. Amal Al-Yahya, the head of the healthy towns department of the Ministry of Health, in a statement, noting that such an international designation is based on several considerations such as the community quest for improving public health and for being distinguished with other characteristics, such as good level of education, family stability, minimum accidents, environmental protection and combating poverty.
Residents of Al-Udailiah, one of the Kuwaiti residential regions, along with voluntary teams, have been exerting noticeable efforts for enhancing their neighborhood's conditions.
Dr. Al-Yahya, part of the "national committee for implementation of the healthy towns initiative," is involved along with her fellow commission members, in diverse activities in this respect, such as holding coordination meetings with governors.
Meanwhile, Salah Al-Saif, the head of the voluntary team, "nahtam (we care)," said the Kuwaiti Voluntary Work Center, chaired by Sheikha Amthal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, has been working with the council of local notables in Al-Udailiah to turn it into an exemplary residential district, health and public beauty wise.
The team has been involved in multiple activities, such as distribution of plants to the neighborhoods as part of public beautification efforts. They also work on a wider scale in the country to combat desertification in the rural areas.
