School Health Centers will allow school children to find more comfortable access to comprehensive medical services provided by the multidisciplinary team of physicians, nurses, dentists, dental hygienists, dental assistants, pharmacists, laboratory technicians, social counselors, dietary counselors, researchers, and other professionals.
The SHCs can be established in three geographical locations, which entail North, Central, and West of Qatar. The SHC will aim to cater to school children’s needs of several public and private schools in each area. Following the introduction or establishment of SHCs, parents may consent for their children to be assessed and treated during school hours. Parents may also book an appointment with the SHCs and accompany their children.
