International SOS highlights need to prioritise mental
wellbeing and health during holy month of Ramadan

UAE, March 10, 2024 – International SOS, the world’s leading
provider of medical and security services, reminds everyone
observing Ramadan to prioritise their safety and health by
providing expert advice and personalised support.

The holy month of Ramadan is due to start this year on or around
March 11, and Muslims across the globe are preparing to begin a
period of fasting and introspection. Fasting hours vary by location
and will gradually increase throughout the month, as the time to
start the fast (Imsak) and end it (Iftar) is directly related to when
the sun rises and sets. While this period allows for significant
personal growth, International SOS emphasises the importance of
approaching it with a focus on both mental and physical health.

“This year, we want to emphasise the importance of prioritising
mental health and wellbeing during Ramadan. During the holy
month of Ramadan, while many find it a time for spiritual reflection
and growth, it is important to acknowledge that the changes in
routine and physical demands of fasting can impact on employees’
mental and physical wellbeing. Organisations can help employees
