Lifestyle Program

A bridge between Mediterranean tradition and preventive health

The LifeStyle Program at Al-Najaf Al-Ashraf Teaching Hospital is inspired by the principles of prevention, longevity, and clinical excellence that define Gruppo San Donato’s international model. Rooted in the values of the Mediterranean lifestyle, the program integrates nutritional education, physical activity, and medical assessments to support sustainable health outcomes for the Iraqi population.

Designed in close collaboration with Italian specialists, the program promotes the adoption of Mediterranean dietary principles, rich in seasonal vegetables, olive oil, legumes, and whole grains, as a scientifically proven foundation for the prevention of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular conditions, diabetes, and obesity. The approach is personalized, culturally adapted, and supported by multidisciplinary teams.

Through this initiative, Al-Najaf Al-Ashraf Teaching Hospital reaffirms its role as a center of excellence and innovation in the region. The program reflects the strong partnership between Iraq and Italy, combining local needs with the best of Italian medical and nutritional science to foster long-term wellbeing.
