Badr's nomination story

Dr. Badr Al Shibani promotes healthy living for the diabetics and obese people. Saudi Arabia is among the top 3 countries with highest number of diabetics. Troubled by growing number of diabetics in the society Dr. Shibani took an initiative to conduct workshops on diabetes and diet. Further, he started a chain of non- profit fitness centers in the year 2005. With his initiatives he has become synonymous to a healer, and now he is focusing his attention to students at school, so that these young kids are aware of the widespread diabetes. He has written articles and speeches about health and has been guesting both on radio and TV to inspire and motivate people to cultivate a healthy lifestyle. Dr. Alshibani is emphasizing to students to be more active in physical education and various sports through his counseling.
