Dr. Yousef Alhammadi, a senior official at ECA, said this partnership will help young children live in a safe and healthy place. He added that working with PureHealth will improve health check-ups and early medical care, giving children the best health services. Rashed Al Qubaisi from PureHealth also shared that a strong society depends on healthy children. He said this partnership will help create better hospitals, schools, and health programs for kids.

PureHealth, through its clinic network SEHA CLINICS, will start a special school health check-up program in Abu Dhabi. With help from ECA and the Abu Dhabi Public Health Centre, this program will check children's health, find problems early, and make sure they get proper medical help. The program will use special health tools, like the Ages & Stages Questionnaires (ASQ) to find growth delays and the Paediatric Symptom Checklist (PSC) to check for mental health problems in children. These tests will be done in both public and private schools to make sure all children get the care they need.

As part of this partnership, PureHealth and ECA will also create the "Longevity Observatory." This system will use modern technology to keep track of children’s health from before birth to when they grow up. It will help doctors and parents understand a child’s health and make better decisions for their future.

Another important part of this partnership is research. Experts will study topics like children’s education, mental health, and social well-being. The findings will help create better health programs for kids and their families. PureHealth will also work with ECA’s Anjal Z program to bring in new health technology. They will test new medical tools and projects to make sure they are useful for improving children's healthcare.

Mental health is another big focus of this partnership. The project will expand the Sakina mental health platform, which provides help for children and families. Parents, teachers, and doctors will get training and useful information to support children's mental well-being. Community programs will be held to spread awareness about child mental health.

To ensure lasting progress, PureHealth and ECA will also train new child healthcare professionals. Special classes and workshops will help doctors and nurses learn more about children’s health needs. The National Academy for Childhood Development will provide high-level training to make sure health experts can give the best care to children.

This partnership is an important step toward improving children’s health in the UAE. With modern technology, research, and strong community support, PureHealth and ECA are working together to give children a healthier and brighter future.
