Doha: Qatar Diabetes Association recently organised an extensive training workshop for 121 registered volunteers.

This training program came as part of the Association’s ongoing efforts to equip its volunteers with the skills needed to support people living with diabetes and to empower them to take part in awareness and community initiatives held throughout the year.

The workshop featured a series of educational lectures on diabetes and healthy nutrition, along with a comprehensive overview of the services provided by the Association.

It also included a session titled “Art of Engaging with the Public at Events and Gatherings,” delivered by trainer Mohammed Hassan Bahloul for English-speaking participants, and trainer Saeed Al Aidah for Arabic speakers. The session aimed to enhance volunteers’ communication skills and their ability to interact effectively with visitors during events.

In addition, Qatar Red Crescent conducted a training workshop on basic first aid principles, equipping volunteers with the knowledge and confidence to respond professionally to emergency situations.
