QRCS’ Training and Development Centre provided indirect health education, by producing and posting health messages via its social media platforms.
The messages underline the importance of protection against high temperatures, especially during the hottest time of the day, as well as how to practice first aid for victims of emergencies like heat exhaustion and sunstroke.
The health educators at the Workers’ Health Centres also held live health education for visitors, with all preventive measures in place.
In partnership with Qatar Cancer Society, QRCS marked World Hepatitis Day by featuring awareness videos in three languages on the informative monitors at the centres’ patient waiting areas.
A total of 2,000 visitors were able to watch these videos.
At the same time, the four Workers’ Health Centres, managed and operated by QRCS in co-operation with the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH), offered primary and emergency health care services for unmarried expatriate workers in Qatar.
