Atlas Insurance clients recently attended a seminar on diabetes in Malta, organised by Atlas and Saħħtek, the nationwide health and well-being study being carried out by the University of Malta.

The talk was given by Julian Mamo, head of the Public Health Department and senior lecturer at the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery, and Sarah Cuschieri, Saħħtek project co-ordinator.

Dr Mamo gave a snapshot of the results being obtained from the study, together with information on healthy lifestyle choices.

The Sahhtek educational seminar forms part of Atlas’ sponsorship of the study, as well as the Atlas Wellness programme which promotes a healthy lifestyle through various initiatives for staff and clients. The previous talks covered diabetes-related conditions, lifestyle choices and exercise.

Saħħtek is a nationwide study being carried out to determine the proportion and number of people suffering from diabetes, hypertension, lack of physical activity and obesity. The fieldwork all over Malta and Gozo has been completed, with the team now in the last stages of the laboratory work.
