Study setting: The National Guard health affairs department is a governmental health-providing facility in Saudi Arabia. It is under the Ministry of the National Guard. The National Guard has created residential cities to accommodate military personnel and their families. These cities provide an independent residence with health services, security education, and related services that support optimal living conditions. The National Guard schools provide education from the nursery level up to high school for both males and females, in cooperation with the Ministry of Education. In Jeddah, the National Guard residential city (King Faisal residential city) is located conveniently near the highway (Al-Haramain highway), which is connected to Makkah and Medina and provides quick access to the National Guard medical city (20 minutes away).
The health services in the residential city have two components: the family medicine practice provided by professional teams in Primary Health Care Clinics, and preventive medicine services with implemented programs and activities. One of the major programs in operation in the community and preventive center is the School Health Program, launched in the residential city in 1995. The health affairs division of the National Guard is always on the lookout for further improvement and the expansion of such programs.
