PureHealth has launched SAKINA for Children, a dedicated mental health network providing specialised services for children and adolescents across Abu Dhabi. The initiative expands SAKINA’s existing mental health network and offers integrated outpatient, inpatient, and early intervention services for individuals up to 18 years of age.

The network provides a range of services including child and adolescent psychiatry, developmental paediatrics, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, behavioural interventions, and family psychological support. Care is delivered through personalised treatment pathways designed around each child’s developmental and clinical needs.

Shaista Asif, Group Chief Executive Officer at PureHealth, said: “Mental health is not only an essential facet of community, it is a major component of non-communicable diseases and is a key factor affecting life expectancy, which is why at PureHealth, in line with our vision of longevity, we are focusing on giving equal, if not more, importance to taking care of our mental wellbeing alongside our physical wellbeing. The mind is one frontier which is still largely undiscovered and is a critical part of a holistic approach to social health and happiness.”
