Health screening for 71.9 million students
Since the launch of the early screening initiative for anemia, obesity, and stunting in 2019, the Ministry of Health and Population has conducted approximately 71.8 million medical examinations for primary school students up to the end of the 2025-2026 academic year. The initiative includes screening all students in 29,000 public and private schools across all governorates, utilizing services to measure weight, height, and hemoglobin levels to detect malnutrition. Identified cases are referred to Health Insurance clinics for free treatment, with a follow-up card provided to ensure regular monitoring. The initiative involves 2,000 medical teams and adheres to health protocols to maintain students' safety and ensure examinations are conducted throughout the year.
