Medical doctors in the field of pediatric healthcare discuss multi-approaches toward equipping parents with the best tools to make sure that their kids are strictly prepared to live a healthy and happy life JEDDAH — In collaboration with Saudi Pediatric Association (SPA) , Sanofi KSA has launched its pediatric initiative to promote health for children. Under the slogan of “Happy Children, Healthy Children”, Sanofi aims to widen the scope of its healthcare offerings to Saudi young patients with innovative products and services in addition to periodic launch of awareness initiatives dedicated to children, parents, healthcare professionals and public authorities. The core objective of the initiative is to provide a clear picture of children healthcare in Saudi Arabia and to present Sanofi's pediatrics initiative as a supportive element in this regard. Sanofi's efforts take multi-approaches toward equipping parents with the best tools to make sure that their kids are strictly prepared to live a healthy and happy life. The initiative is an effective yet fruitful partnership between Sanofi and its entity Sanofi Pasteur and demonstrates the willingness and commitment of Sanofi toward pediatric healthcare throughout Saudi Arabia's most important pediatric symposium, which attracted more than 400 physicians. Commenting on the occasion, Dr. Salah Mousa, General Manager of Sanofi, said: “Over the years, Sanofi remains an ideal provider of healthcare solutions and services that address the childhood health issues, from the simplest ones to the life-threatening cases. Sanofi always seeks to diversify its healthcare experience offered to children with innovative products, services, awareness initiatives and digital tools that can help patients in various areas including pain management, communicable diseases, chronic diseases and specially diabetes management.” Professor Abdulaziz Altuwaim, Vice President of Saudi Pediatric Association, said: “According to the latest studies, 2% of children under the age of 5 die from diarrhea; and 7% of mortality rate is caused by pneumonia. Focusing our attention on improving the quality of children's healthcare is fundamental to achieving better health outcomes. During the Saudi Pediatric Association's 2nd pediatric update symposium we are keen to showcase the newest updates to the pediatric society in Saudi Arabia, supported by the great efforts and solid commitment of Sanofi to boost children's' healthcare in Saudi Arabia.” – SG
