Doha, Qatar: On the World diabetes Day marked on November 14 every year, QNB Group joined iconic buildings and sites throughout the world and lit up its Head Office in Al Corniche and international branches in blue to shed light on diabetes.
The initiative reflects the Group's keenness to raise awareness of diabetes as part of its annual programmes to promote health practices in the communities in which it operates within its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy.
Heba Al-Tamimi, Senior Executive Vice President of Group Communication at QNB, said:
Established in 1991 by the International Diabetes Federation with support from the World Health Organization (WHO), the World Diabetes Day marks the birthday of Frederick Banting who discovered insulin in 1922. The blue colour is taken from the blue circle which symbolizes the unity that is necessary to combat this disease.
