As the opening of the new school year, the DOH Human Resources for Health (HRH) personnel, together with the Midwives, conducted school visits within their respective areas of responsibility to assess the height and weight of pupils. This activity aims to monitor the nutritional status and overall health of schoolchildren, identify those who may require further health interventions, and establish baseline health data for the school year.
In addition, PhilHealth Konsulta registration and updating through the iClinicSys system were also conducted among eligible students to ensure that their health records are properly documented and linked to available healthcare services. This initiative helps strengthen access to primary healthcare and facilitates efficient health monitoring and service delivery.
The activity reflects the continued commitment of the Department of Health to promote the well-being of learners through regular health assessments, accurate health information management, and early detection of nutrition-related concerns. Through the collaborative efforts of the HRH staff, Midwives, school personnel, and parents, the program supports the goal of ensuring that every child is healthy, prepared, and ready to learn as they begin another academic year.
