LAU Health Clinics
We have introduced various measures to optimize safety measures for the entire LAU community, through:
- Enforcing wearing a face mask while on campus, maintaining physical distancing, and reminding everyone to frequently wash their hands.
- Scheduling tele health appointments for cases that do not require care in-person.
- Regularly cleaning and disinfecting the healthcare facility, including the waiting area, examination room, and the equipment used following every visit.
- Providing recommendations to minimize the risk of virus transmission on campus and performing contact tracing for confirmed COVID-19 cases.The LAU Health Clinics provides primary health care to students and serves as an information resource for the campus community through its organization of several health-related campaigns each year.
The LAU Health Clinics are your one-stop shop for health advice, personal wellbeing, medical consultations and resources for the health and wellness topics you care about the most.

What About Confidentiality?
All consultations and medical records are dealt with strict confidentiality: student medical records will never be discussed or released to anyone without the student’s consent; medical and academic records are not connected in any way.
