Participants at the Career and Volunteering Program Fair.
Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) has participated in the Seventh Career and Volunteering Program Fair, held by Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) over three days at Bayt Al-Dhiyafah in Hamad Bin Khalifa Medical City.
The career fair was an informative venue to introduce secondary school students to the future employment opportunities in the medical sector in Qatar, as well as the requirements of the local job market. Parents, teachers, administrative staff, and the public were also addressed by the event.
QRCS's Medical Affairs Department and Volunteers Section set up a corner to communicate with the event's 450 visitors and participants from 35 public and private organisations, including Community College, Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU), Community Police, Qatar Diabetes Association (QDA), Qatar Rehabilitation Institute (QRI), and Primary Health Care Corporation (PHCC).
QRCS's corner gave the visitors an overview of the organisation's wide range of activities, particularly medical and health-related services, such as first-aid training, community health education, the state-auxiliary role in emergency, and partnerships with the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) and HMC.
Among the activities of QRCS publicised during the fair were direct and indirect public health messages and health education campaigns.
