Better Research for Better Child Health

According to Dr. Ayesha Abdullah, Senior Vice President, Dubai Healthcare City, better data collection on the causes of child injuries and safety are urgently required to implement appropriate legislation that will ensure a safer environment for children in the region.

Dr. Ayesha Abdullah’s remarks at a roundtable session at ACHC “As well as understanding the incidence of diseases amongst children, we also need to understand the level of investment being made in preventative versus curative care. This congress is a welcome opportunity to share ideas with colleagues who can shape research and policy in this area and I hope the discussion today will translate into some concrete actions that will improve the long-term health of our children.”

They also discussed safety, emergency response, psychological trauma and child counseling as well as Arab strategies and interventions and the role of families, etc.
