Education and prevention
School healthcare provides structured health education and promotes healthy lifestyle habits. It is based on the 6H health concept, a collaborative project between school healthcare and the Public Health Institute. Nurses provide dental education in grades 1, 4, and 7.
They also oversee medication administration for schoolchildren in consultation with parents. Additionally, they handle regular checkups and vaccinations. More information about school healthcare services can be found in the school's operational plan.
