School Health Assessments
Supporting Children’s Learning With Clear Health Evaluations
Before starting school, children often need a medical evaluation to ensure they are ready for learning and group settings. These assessments confirm your child’s overall health, check for any concerns, and provide the necessary certificates for school entry. They are a routine but important part of our General Pediatric Services.
At KidsHeart Medical Center, our pediatricians provide detailed school health assessments, offering reassurance for families and official reports for schools. With clinics in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Al Ain, we make the process simple and supportive.
