Guiding Principles
The
Foundation views the health sector as part of a comprehensive
development program based on the idea that guaranteed health leads to
creative minds. Health builds intellect and increases productivity.
Health-related programs were among the programs implemented by the
Foundation, as they reach low-income groups in need of health care,
hospitalization and guidance.
Goals
Disseminating concepts of preventative health care through
awareness and education campaigns;
Building capacities of workers in the health sector;
Protecting children and securing their access to health services; and
Securing urgent health needs for the most needy.
