Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) and Afif Charity have initiated their cooperation to implement the QRCS School Programme.
In October, the programme covered 13 public and private schools of the Ministry of Education and Higher Education.
In the field of health education, workshops were held on a number of important topics, such as first aid, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), first aid for school injuries, healthy diet, breast cancer prevention, asthma and flu control, how to avoid infections, risks of obesity and home safety for children.
The workshops were attended by around 1,800 students, teachers and administrative staff of 13 schools.
QRCS paramedics and health educators made field visits to the schools and delivered theoretical and practical lectures to raise awareness about how to take care of an injured person, apply first aid and CPR skills, and follow everyday physical health protection guidelines.
Some schools sent their students to attend health education lectures at QRCS headquarters, including Aspire Academy and Heteen Model School for Boys.
The QRCS School Programme is a unique social development scheme in line with the goals and strategy of the Qatar National Vision 2030, especially in relation to the human development pillar.
The programme’s components include first-aid training and health education on nutrition, hygiene, communicable diseases, home safety, oral health, and other relevant topics; the ‘Safe School’ risk reduction seekings to improve community disaster preparedness and effective response; and the ‘Social Peace and Integration’ programme to enrich positive values among school students, such as interactive communication, open-mindedness, behavioural discipline, psychological balance and mutual respect.
