Schools are not just places of learning—they’re places of growing. And just like textbooks and teachers, health plays a vital role in a child’s success. At Doctors Foundation, we believe that regular school health checkups are the key to a brighter, healthier future.
Through our school outreach program, we bring medical care to the classroom, ensuring no child’s health goes unnoticed.
🏫 Why School Health Checkups Matter
Children spend most of their day in schools, yet many suffer from untreated issues like:
- Poor vision
- Hearing problems
- Dental issues
- Malnutrition
- Skin infections
- Worm infestations
Often, these problems are missed or ignored—leading to reduced academic performance and social development.
Early detection = early action.
🩺 What Happens During a School Health Checkup?
Our mobile medical team conducts comprehensive exams that include:
- General Physical Examination
- Vision and Hearing Tests
- Dental Screening
- Nutritional Assessment
- Hygiene Awareness Sessions
- Psychological Well-being Observation
Every child receives a personal health card with follow-up advice.
🧼 Health Education That Sticks
In addition to checkups, our team conducts interactive workshops on:
- Handwashing
- Menstrual hygiene (for girls)
- Oral care
- Importance of vaccinations
- Balanced diet and clean drinking water
We also distribute hygiene kits with soaps, toothbrushes, and sanitary pads.
📖 Real Story: Sangeeta’s Smile
At a school in Suryapet, our dental team discovered Sangeeta, a 9-year-old girl, had a severe tooth infection. Her family couldn’t afford treatment. Our team provided free dental care, and today, she’s smiling confidently again—and attending school regularly.
“No one had ever checked our teeth before. Now, I don’t feel pain,” says Sangeeta.
