“We participated in and won many awards at the Parikrma Address School Health Awards. So we do take the health of our children very seriously. However, working closely with AddressHealth made me realize that there is so much more that we can do and having a professional school health provider help you in the process is great. I recommend AddressHealth to all schools.” -Mrs. Manju Balasubramanyam, Principal, Delhi Public School, Bangalore - North
Our biggest concern before taking up Addresshealth services was that parents would not be supportive. But once psychological problems in students were identified, parents realized the significance of health program and were supportive. Psycho education for parents was conducted based on the child’s psychological needs. We took up the services mainly for 3 reasons • Infirmary set up in the school • Annual Health check-up • Workshops & Counselling sessions for the school children The Annual Health checkup program, the workshops for teachers and parents & the Health Education component of Addresshealth services are good. After taking their program, we noticed that children have benefited from the immediate first aid care. Also, group therapy and individual therapy has helped the children to overcome their difficulties. The best thing about Address Health is that the team is cooperative. The nurse in the infirmary is polite and friendly. She responds to the child immediately. We would like to make a special mention of Mrs. Smitha, nurse in the infirmary and Mrs. Reema Gupta, psychologist for their good service and courteous behaviour. Any school which is located away from a hospital and does not have a psychologist should take up their services. Infirmary in the school with the nurse helps the children during an emergency. Counselling sessions would also benefit the student to a greater extent We are using Addresshealth services for the last 5 years. New programs are added every year. We appreciate the planning process and health objectives of Address Health.Ms.Sumitra Baitipuli - Principal S.V.central School
Last year, we took up the school infirmary services and the workbook based health education for classes 1 - 8. We are very happy with all the services from Address Health, they had already been doing the health check in our school. Now, with these added services we are happy to be associated with Address Health.We needed an infirmary in our school and we checked with Address Health. Their service was very prompt and they set up the room very quickly. Both their nurses are well trained and follow protocols set by Address Health. All necessary medical equipment, medicines and supplies are provided by Address Health and we do not even have to worry about the medical waste. The infirmary is also connected to doctors and pediatricians through their telehealth network, so doubts are clarified through video consultations. It's very useful.I have received very positive feedback about the health education workbooks from students and my teachers. The curriculum has been designed with thought and it covers very relevant and topical health knowledge and behaviour. The health professionals from Address Health, who conduct the classes for health education, show a lot of passion and dedication to the subject. The books are also designed in an age appropriate and pleasing manner. I'm quite sure that this curriculum will result in long term improvements in the health behaviour of our community.I would recommend Address Health's services to schools.” - S. A. Nair Academic Director, BGS National Public School - Bannerghatta Road
“Dr. Arpitha (counseling psychologist) spent half an hour with children having problems, giving them valuable guidance. We would certainly recommend this Programme to other schools. Every school should avail the AddressHealth Programme so that every child in our society is made aware of his/her health. Best wishes for the AddressHealth team from Ashwini Primary and High School Staff & Management.”
“The Programme is a one-stop-shop for all kinds of health check-ups, viz, Dental, Eye and Physical Examination. The marketing executives did a wonderful job of explaining the Programme, and helped us setup the process. The Programmes are going on in good form, thanks to excellent teamwork; children are getting much-needed awareness about proper food habits. Prevention is better than cure is very much true; even parents are co-operating with this aspect after a health talk. I would definitely recommend this Programme to other schools. Let god bless the people in AddressHealth with sound health and the mind to serve the nation by giving healthy and strong-willed citizens.”
