Schools/Health

16 years ago

I am planning to move to Pakistan next year at the Canyon Views Project by Emaar in Islamabad however I have two main concerns. I have a four year old son who has been diagnosed with an allergy to nuts, he has to have an Epipen as his last reaction was quite severe. Can anyone tell me how the medical system in Pakistan treats children with these type of problems and what type of medication they prescribe if it is not an Epipen.

Also in relation to schools, the schools in the UK have a stringent policy in place for children who have allergies and staff are trained to administer drugs and the Epipen if need be, is this procedure the same in Pakistan? I have searched on the net for more information on clinics/allergie websites in Pakistan however I did not find much information.

With relation to schools can anyone tell me if the location of the DHA phase 2 ext Emaar Canyon Views project is centrally located and which good schools are nearby that offer the Cambridge system i.e education to GCSE level. I will take this opportunity to apologeise for seeming naive however as an any parent, the welfare of your children is foremost.

Thanks
