medical students to a variety of health services in the Emirate
of Sharjah and surrounding areas. Through participation in a range

students to develop an understanding of the mechanisms and
issues involved in providing health services to various
populations as well as identifying areas in need of improvement
with particular focus on topics related to “World Health Day”.
At the conclusion of this week, students present on
a health-related topic taking into account challenges and issues
