Hydrogen Launches ‘Healthy Heart, Healthy Business’ Initiative to Promote Heart Health Among Business Owners
Lagos, Nigeria – 13 August 2024: Hydrogen Payment Services Company Limited (Hydrogen), a leading payment services company, is excited to announce the commencement of its “Healthy Heart, Healthy Business” initiative, beginning on 30th July 2024. This significant initiative highlights Hydrogen's commitment to promoting heart health awareness among business owners and professionals, focusing on the importance of managing high blood pressure (BP) and overall heart wellness.
The
initiative kicked off at the Hydrogen Head Office, Plot 1618 Danmole Street,
Victoria Island, Lagos, where business owners and professionals were invited to
participate in free heart health checks and other health assessments. This
program aims to equip the business community with vital knowledge and resources
to maintain heart health, emphasising its critical role in ensuring business
success.
Key
features of the initiative include on-the-spot blood pressure checks for
attendees, identifying potential heart health risks, and encouraging early
intervention. Informative sessions highlighted the importance of monitoring
blood pressure and maintaining a healthy heart, with participants gaining
valuable insights from healthcare professionals. Educational materials on
healthy living and stress management were also distributed, providing ongoing
support for maintaining heart health.
Obinna
Ojekwe, Brands and Marketing Lead at Hydrogen, emphasised the prevalence of
hypertension in Nigeria and the low level of awareness, particularly among the
business community. “The ‘Healthy Heart, Healthy Business’ initiative is a
crucial step in addressing hypertension awareness. Hydrogen is committed to
driving this cause among its merchants and the wider business community,
advocating for regular health checks, and promoting a healthy lifestyle,” said
Ojekwe. “Heart health is essential for business owners to contribute
meaningfully to their business growth and overall success.”
Zainab
Abu, Head of Merchant Services at Hydrogen, expressed her enthusiasm for the
initiative, stating, “At Hydrogen, we believe that a healthy business starts
with a healthy business owner. The launch of our 'Healthy Heart, Healthy
Business' initiative is a testament to the importance of health awareness in
our community. We are dedicated to making a positive impact by providing
essential health checks and promoting wellness among business owners.”
Hydrogen’s
commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles is evident
in this initiative. By addressing the health needs of business owners, Hydrogen
not only promotes individual well-being but also contributes to the overall
sustainability and productivity of the business ecosystem.
