It’s school time again! Over a million students and around 65,000 teaching staff in the UAE are preparing for the new academic year starting this week. To ensure children are healthy, happy, and motivated to return to school, various hospitals under Burjeel Holdings have come up with exciting back-to-school campaigns that focus on their health and overall wellbeing.

As kids prepare to return to school, it’s important to evaluate their health and development to detect growth-related problems early and start a proper treatment plan. Interacting with a doctor during a comprehensive health check-up will enable parents to raise questions and concerns about their children’s health.

Special health packages for students

Burjeel Medical City (BMC), Burjeel Hospital, and Burjeel Day Surgery Centre in Abu Dhabi are offering special health check-up packages for kids. The packages include pediatric consultation, dental examination, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), RT-PCR, complete blood count, vitamin D, as well as dietician and ophthalmology consultations based on medical necessities.

Medeor Hospitals in Abu Dhabi and Dubai are offering back-to-school check-up, which includes pediatric consultation, growth assessment, vision test and vitamin D test. The back-to-school program by Medeor Hospital, Abu Dhabi, also offers special services for teachers, including walk-in priority, room upgrades, and discount on cash services for participating schools.
