	Printer Friendly Page		FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Citigroup Inc. (NYSE: C) January 29, 2008 Bahrain: Citi Supports American Mission Hospital, Provides USD 30,000 Grant Creates Awareness for 1,000 patients in Five Social Centers Manama – Citi today announced a new grant to American Mission Hospital (AMH) which will be used to identify patients with various health issues and guide them towards better health and proper medical care. The USD 30,000 grant by the Citi Foundation will be utilized to finance "Community Outreach" events which aim to reduce health problems through a rigorous health awareness program. This is in line with the growing health risks experienced by the lower income sectors of the Bahraini community and among residents, especially chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes and elevated cholesterol levels. All events will take place at the social centers identified by the Ministry of Social Development. The hospital will conduct a minimum of five events (with up to 200 patients at each event) at the social centers around the island. Mayank Malik, CEO Citi Bahrain, said: "As an international financial services company, Citi is committed to help people improve their lives, businesses to grow, and communities to prosper around the world. Therefore support for projects like AMH Community Outreach events helps to better educate people living in disadvantaged communities regarding the steps they need to take to improve their general health and wellbeing." Paul Armerding, CEO for American Mission Hospital, said, "Thanks to the generous support of corporations such as Citi, the American Mission Hospital is able to continue offering community outreach events in Bahrain." Citi has been in the Arab World for nearly 50 years and continues to view the region as critical to its global franchise. It is currently present in ten Arab countries including Egypt, UAE, Lebanon, Jordan, Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria, Bahrain, Qatar and Kuwait. # # # Citi Citi, the leading global financial services company, has some 200 million customer accounts and does business in more than 100 countries, providing consumers, corporations, governments and institutions with a broad range of financial products and services, including consumer banking and credit, corporate and investment banking, securities brokerage, and wealth management.
