EHS strengthens anti-smoking awareness, prevention programmes


Emirates Health Services (EHS) continues its efforts to combat smoking and curb its spread in society through integrated awareness initiatives, tailored cessation support, and the promotion of the best health practices to prevent diseases linked to both traditional and modern tobacco products.

EHS currently operates 17 smoking cessation clinics across the UAE, with the number of beneficiaries rising by 53 percent this year compared to the same period last year. This growth is attributed to comprehensive treatment and awareness programmes that combine medical support with behavioural counselling.
