SCOCH

‘SCOCH’ the Standing Committee on Child Health is a locally formed committee and the most recent member in the SSS family.
It started on March 2007 by a group of fervent medical students, all devoted to one goal; drawing smiles on children’s faces. This, in short, is what SCOCH is all about, making children happy.
What makes our committee different is the unique experience we get from participating in its many special events.

Our Projects

Mental Health of Children

Unfortunately, Egypt is one of the countries in which mental health is uncared for. Ignorance of its importance has caused a terrifying increase in the number of unmanaged cases in the last decade. Driven by the sense of responsibility towards our community, SCOCH, in partnership with ADVANCE, has started a proposition to raise public awareness about the most common developmental, psychological and psychiatric disorders of Children in Egypt. ADHD, OCD, Autism & the psychological effects of abuse on children lie on the top of the list. After months of preparation, seminars & workshops, the campaign has finally started -as a first step- months ago. The goal was to raise awareness on the most common developmental disorder in Egypt: Autism, amongst the future physicians of the Kasr Al-Ainy School of Medicine.
