A School Medical Room (also known as a nurse’s office or school health clinic) is an essential facility designed to provide students with immediate medical care, health screenings, and support for various health-related issues that may arise during school hours. It is a safe, quiet space where students can receive first aid, rest, or be evaluated for further medical attention if needed. Below is a detailed breakdown of the structure, equipment, and importance of a medical room in a school setting.
The school medical room is headed by a qualified nurse. A medical checkup of students is done annually by a qualified doctor, and their medical records are maintained. Parents are informed if the doctor finds that a child needs special medical attention.
