It is important for schools to require students to undergo medical examinations before the start of the school term, as it can be costly for both the school and parents when a child falls sick from illnesses contracted at home.
Such health issues can also disrupt a student’s academic continuity. Unfortunately, these medical check-ups are often skipped, done at unreliable centers, or become too expensive for parents. To address this, schools can organize medical examinations on-site through a trusted and reliable healthcare provider like AAR Healthcare.
How it works: The medical examinations are conducted by qualified and skilled doctors, supported by nurses and laboratory technicians, all within the comfort of the school premises. The tests include, but are not limited to, those listed in the official flyer. Additional tests may be carried out based on the doctor’s recommendation at no extra cost. Students diagnosed with any illnesses will receive prescriptions and recommendations from the doctors; however, medication will not be provided as part of the service.
Overall benefits:
One health awareness talk per term for students and staff, with topics selected by the school or students
One free ambulance coverage for a school event
