Abu dhabi: In collaboration with the Abu Dhabi Public Health Center (ADPHC), SEHA CLINICS, a subsidiary of PureHealth, has launched Barakat Al Seha (Blessings of Health), a wellbeing and recipe book developed as part of a wider, first-of-its-kind community initiative. Designed to make healthy living simpler and more sustainable for families across the UAE, the book blends culturally rooted recipes, practical wellness guidance, and evidence-based lifestyle tips in an accessible, easy-to-use format.
According to Emirates News Agency, the initiative, endorsed by ADPHC and approved by its SEHHI programme, supports the UAE Year of the Community and the UAE’s National Wellbeing Strategy 2031. It reflects PureHealth’s broader mission to embed health, longevity, and prevention into daily life. It also reinforces SEHA CLINICS’ role as a neighbourhood community health partner, combining clinical credibility with culturally relevant guidance to bridge the gap between public health advice and everyday wellness.
Khadija Al Marashda, Chief Executive Officer of SEHA CLINICS, emphasized the importance of prevention beginning at home with informed choices, balanced meals, and simple changes to daily routines. She stated that Barakat Al Seha serves as a practical guide to living well, blending trusted nutrition and wellness insights with cultural familiarity. Al Marashda highlighted that the book aims to empower families to take charge of their health through small, sustainable steps that lead to lasting, meaningful change.
The book addresses the growing need for accessible wellness guidance that is trustworthy and easy to apply in daily life. Barakat Al Seha offers a grounded alternative to the often-conflicting health and wellness advice by providing clinical insight with everyday relevance to help families make informed lifestyle choices.
Dr Rashed Al Suwaidi, Director General of ADPHC, noted the rising interest in nutrition labelling in food menus and products, which plays a vital role in guiding consumers towards healthier food choices and preventing diet-related non-communicable diseases. He explained that ADPHC’s mission is to enhance the community’s wellbeing by promoting prevention and early detection. The SEHHI Programme helps the public identify healthier food options, and the launch of Barakat Al Seha marks a new milestone for the programme.
Barakat Al Seha, developed by PureHealth employees with oversight from licensed dietitians, promotes healthy living through practical guidance. It features halal-compliant, Emirati-inspired recipes alongside tips on movement, mental wellbeing, and sustainable daily habits. The book is integrated into SEHA CLINICS’ primary care model, offering opportunities for patients to follow-up with nutrition and mental wellbeing consultations.
Printed copies of the book are now being distributed through SEHA CLINICS, schools, government platforms, and community events across Abu Dhabi and Al Ain. Barakat Al Seha is part of PureHealth’s broader ambition to reshape healthcare as a driver of healthy longevity and national wellbeing, supporting the UAE’s vision for healthier, more connected communities during the Year of the Community and beyond.
