The Emirates Health Services Foundation, in collaboration with Infinia Camp, has organised a series of awareness lectures for children aimed at instilling healthy habits from an early age, as part of its plan to strengthen health education and build positive behaviour among younger generations.
The foundation’s Instagram account shared footage from the lectures, which were delivered in a format that combined knowledge, hands-on experience and entertainment, helping children absorb health messages in a simple way that speaks to their interests rather than through a purely theoretical approach.
Health topics presented in an engaging format
According to Dr Radwa Saad Al-Toukhi, a public health physician at the foundation, the lectures covered personal hygiene, healthy nutrition, physical activity and anti-bullying, and she confirmed that the sessions achieved their intended goals in terms of children benefiting from them.
Building awareness early
The initiative highlights the importance of starting health awareness at an early stage, on the basis that habits formed in childhood can influence later life, shaping food choices, physical activity and preventative behaviour in the years ahead.
