The health of children is a reflection of the future. Good education is possible only when the child is in good health. As children spend most of their time in schools, schools seem to be the right and effective platform to help children inculcate Healthy lifestyle. It is a well-known fact that establishing healthy behaviors during childhood is easier and more effective than trying to change unhealthy behavior during adulthood. Therefore, schools play a critical role in helping students establish healthy behaviours for their lifetime. Many studies have shown that School based Health Programme has lowered the mortality rate among children and helped in early detection and timely medical intervention of diseases.
Children are vulnerable to wide spectrum of communicable and chronic diseases. An age appropriate and comprehensive Health programme in schools can greatly help target these diseases in children and enhance their performance. Many countries have mandated these preventive Health screenings and programme in schools as a part of their Nation- building efforts. Nalam teamed up with registered Healthcare Professionals and technology has structurized a focused health programme for School children. This Technology enabled Health programme not only focuses on early identification of diseases in children but also keeps track of their Health data for future predictions.
