Atlas Insurance clients recently attended a seminar about the benefits of exercise organised by Atlas and Saħħtek, the nationwide health and wellbeing study being carried out by the University of Malta. The talk was given by Dr. Julian Mamo, Head of the Public Health Department and Senior Lecturer within the Faculty of Medicine & Surgery, and a member of the Saħħtek team. Dr Mamo’s passion for exercise made the talk fun and interesting for everyone!

This forms part of Atlas’ sponsorship of the Saħħtek study as well as the Atlas Wellness programme, which promotes a healthy lifestyle through various initiatives for staff and clients. The last talk covered Diabetes Related Conditions and Lifestyle Choices.

Saħħtek is a nationwide study being carried out to determine the proportion and number of persons suffering from diabetes, hypertension, lack of physical activity and obesity in Malta. The fieldwork all over Malta and Gozo has been completed, with the team now returning to the laboratory to analyse the results, so it’s an exciting time for the project.
