School-based Health Services

School-based health services are medical and mental health support provided directly within schools. They include services such as routine health check-ups, immunizations, treatment for minor illnesses, vision and hearing screenings, and mental health counseling. These services aim to improve students' overall well-being, support their ability to learn, and address health issues early. By offering healthcare on-site or nearby, schools help reduce barriers to access, ensuring students receive timely care, which can lead to better health outcomes and improved academic performance.
