Al­mawi Lim­it­ed The Holis­tic Clin­ic has formed an al­liance with the Di­a­betes As­so­ci­a­tion of Trinidad and To­ba­go (DATT) to as­sist in pro­vid­ing foot health ser­vices for mem­bers of the As­so­ci­a­tion. From Tues­day, a clin­ic will be in op­er­a­tion at DATT's head­quar­ters, 17-18 Suc­cess Street, Ch­agua­nas. It will be open Tues­day–Fri­day, from 9 am–4 pm.

Es­tab­lished in De­cem­ber 2004, Al­mawi's, re­cent­ly re­brand­ed as a holis­tic clin­ic, suite of ser­vices has ex­pand­ed. Peo­ple with di­a­betes and se­niors are two groups spe­cial­ly catered for. The clin­ic's man­ag­ing di­rec­tor Al­ma Thomp­son ex­plained: "Our fo­cus on di­a­bet­ics in par­tic­u­lar is as a re­sult of the high in­ci­dence of the dis­ease in our fam­i­ly.

"In fact, my moth­er lost both legs in one year, and sub­se­quent­ly died from com­pli­ca­tions as­so­ci­at­ed with the dis­ease. It was a try­ing time for me, as I had to take care of her for a num­ber of years while han­dling a very de­mand­ing job." In the clin­ic's at­tempt to con­tribute di­rect­ly to DATT's mis­sion to ed­u­cate and mo­ti­vate peo­ple on a na­tion­al lev­el, its three se­nior em­ploy­ees, in­clud­ing the man­ag­ing di­rec­tor have be­come life­time mem­bers at­tached to the San Juan, Ari­ma, and North West branch­es re­spec­tive­ly.

Mem­bers of the pub­lic can call 662-1732 for fur­ther de­tails, or vis­it the clin­ic's Web site at www.al­maw­iclinc.com.
