Al-Ahli Hospital Launches Qatar’s First Comprehensive Well Child Preventive Wellness Package
Dr. Mohamad Anas Barakat, Pediatric Consultant Head of Department at Al-Ahli Hospital/Qatar
Al-Ahli Hospital proudly leads the way in pediatric care with the launch of Qatar’s first fully integrated Well Child Preventive Wellness Package, a groundbreaking initiative offering children a full-circle health experience focused on early detection, prevention, and long-term wellness. Recognizing that healthy childhoods lead to healthier societies, this one-of-a-kind program is designed to screen for physical, emotional, sensory, developmental, and even dental issues before they evolve into chronic or lifelong conditions.
A New Standard in Preventive Pediatric Care
While many healthcare services respond to illness after it arises, Al-Ahli Hospital’s Well Child Package is proactive, preventive, and holistic. It offers a multidisciplinary, age-specific approach that includes eight interconnected specialties, all delivered in one seamless, child-centered experience. From behavioral health to dental checks and lab diagnostics, this package ensures nothing is overlooked in your child’s developmental journey.
What’s Included? A Comprehensive, One-Stop Pediatric Health Journey
This package uniquely combines the expertise of eight vital disciplines, working together to provide a full-picture understanding of your child’s health:
1. Pediatric Growth and Developmental Assessment
Experienced pediatricians conduct full evaluations focusing on growth charts, neurological milestones, immunization status, and behavioral screening, looking deeper than surface-level symptoms to uncover subtle indicators of concern.
2. ENT – Advanced Hearing and Balance Screening
Our ENT specialists use modern technology to detect hearing loss, balance disturbances, or inner ear conditions that may affect language development, attention, and school performance.
3. Vision Testing by Ophthalmologists
Poor eyesight is often misdiagnosed as a learning issue. Our team screens for strabismus, refractive errors, and early signs of eye disease, helping protect your child’s visual and cognitive development.
4. Nutritional Assessment and Diet Counseling
Our clinical dietitians evaluate nutritional intake, BMI, and family dietary patterns. They offer personalized nutrition plans to support healthy growth and help prevent obesity, diabetes, and future cardiovascular risks.
5. Pediatric Dentistry Screening
Oral health plays a critical role in overall wellbeing. Our dental team checks for cavities, bite problems, hygiene habits, and gum conditions, educating children and families on proper dental care routines that support lifelong oral health.
6. Laboratory Tests (Basic Wellness Panel)
Key laboratory diagnostics are included to assess internal health, screen for anemia, vitamin deficiencies, glucose levels, and general indicators of systemic issues. These tests support clinical findings and reinforce early prevention strategies.
7. Integrated Report & Personalized Recommendations
All results are compiled into a cohesive wellness report, reviewed jointly across specialties. Parents receive clear action steps, lifestyle guidance, and referrals if any risk factors are detected.
Who Should Enroll?
The Well Child Package is ideal for:
- 4- 15 years old kids
- School-age children facing academic or behavioral transitions
- Preteens preparing for puberty and emotional growth
- Any child needing a full preventive check, even without noticeable symptoms
Whether it’s routine screening or early detection, this package acts as a health shield, catching what parents might miss and addressing issues before they escalate.

More Than a Check-Up. It’s a Commitment
At Al-Ahli Hospital, we believe pediatric wellness is a shared responsibility—between hospitals, families, and communities.
Our Well Child Preventive Wellness Package is part of a broader vision to create a healthier, happier future generation by shifting from reactive to proactive pediatric care.
This initiative encourages families to see wellness checks as essential, not optional, and empowers parents with education, support, and peace of mind.
Because Prevention is the Best Protection
Healthier childhoods start with smarter choices and earlier interventions. The Well Child Preventive Package is not just a healthcare offering; it’s a promise: to protect your child’s full potential, to support families at every step, and to reduce the risk of preventable illnesses before they begin. Because when it comes to children, the best medicine is prevention.
