(Amman-18December, 2018) - The Royal Health Awareness Society (RHAS) and Al Marji’ Publications signed a partnership agreement so families in Jordan can have better access to credible health information and resources.
“We highly value our partnership with Al Marji’ Publications as it provides us with an opportunity to discuss health with Jordanian families and tackle high priority topics on the national level,” says Hanin Odeh, RHAS Director General. She adds that” We have been able to accomplish a lot together through our collaboration in the previous years and look forward to much more.”
“Our work with RHAS over the past seven years in both Family Flavours and Nakahat ‘Ailiyeh parenting magazines has focused on empowering parents and caregivers to lead healthier lifestyles,” states Hind-Lara Mango, Managing Director and Publisher of Al Marji’ Publications, which publishes Jordan’s only parenting magazines, Family Flavours and Nakahat ‘Ailiyeh. “Because of its hands-on approach in local communities and schools, RHAS continues to provide our readers with real-life success stories and medically-backed resources,” Mango points out.
This year saw the production of two drug awareness booklets for parents of teens in Arabic and English Not to Drugs, Yes to Life! in collaboration with RHAS-the official umbrella for drug awareness and prevention in schools in Jordan. In 2019, Al Marji’ Publications and RHAS will further cooperate and bring their partnership to the next level through stakeholder-focused workshops and events.
An initiative of Queen Rania Al-Abdullah, RHAS aims to empower Jordanians to adopt healthy lifestyles. The non-profit organisation has made considerable headway over the years within local communities all over the Kingdom.
