SEHA Clinics Introduces Barakat Al Seha Wellness Book To Promote Healthy Living In UAE

SEHA CLINICS, a branch of PureHealth, has introduced Barakat Al Seha (Blessings of Health) in partnership with the Abu Dhabi Public Health Center (ADPHC). This wellbeing and recipe book is part of a unique community initiative aimed at simplifying healthy living for UAE families. It combines culturally inspired recipes, practical wellness advice, and lifestyle tips in an easy-to-use format.

The initiative aligns with the UAE Year of the Community and the National Wellbeing Strategy 2031. It reflects PureHealth’s mission to integrate health, longevity, and prevention into daily life. The book also strengthens SEHA CLINICS’ role as a community health partner by merging clinical expertise with culturally relevant guidance.

Khadija Al Marashda, CEO of SEHA CLINICS, stated: "At SEHA CLINICS, our mission is rooted in supporting the health and longevity of our community. We believe prevention begins at home – with informed choices, balanced meals and simple changes to daily routines. Barakat Al Seha is a practical guide to living well, blending trusted nutrition and wellness insights with cultural familiarity. More than a book, it’s part of a broader movement towards a healthier future. It gives families the confidence to take charge of their health with guidance they can trust, grounded in the culinary traditions and flavours they know and love."

The book addresses the need for reliable wellness guidance that is easy to apply daily. In a world filled with conflicting health advice, Barakat Al Seha offers a practical alternative by combining clinical insights with everyday relevance to help families make informed lifestyle choices.

Dr Rashed Al Suwaidi from ADPHC remarked on the growing interest in nutrition labelling on food menus and products. He highlighted its importance in guiding healthier food choices and preventing diet-related diseases. "At ADPHC, our mission is to enhance the physical, mental, and social wellbeing of Abu Dhabi’s community by promoting prevention and early detection," he said.

The SEHHI Programme helps consumers identify healthier food options through its logo displayed on qualifying foods. Dr Al Suwaidi expressed pride in marking a new milestone for this programme with Barakat Al Seha's launch under its approval.

Practical Guidance for Families

Developed by PureHealth employees under licensed dietitians' supervision, Barakat Al Seha promotes healthy living through practical guidance. It includes halal-compliant recipes inspired by Emirati cuisine alongside tips on movement, mental wellbeing, and sustainable habits designed for real-life use.

The book is integrated into SEHA CLINICS’ primary care model, offering patients opportunities for follow-up consultations on nutrition and mental wellbeing. Printed copies are distributed through SEHA CLINICS, schools, government platforms, and community events across Abu Dhabi and Al Ain.

This initiative supports PureHealth’s broader ambition to reshape healthcare as a driver of healthy longevity and national wellbeing. It aligns with the UAE’s vision for healthier communities during the Year of the Community and beyond.
