School Health Services


Levande School Health Program

Medical emergencies in childcare centres are very different to other industries. Even with careful supervision, children frequently sustain bruises, cuts, bites and falls in the normal course of their day. Less frequently, medical emergencies such as seizures and asthma attacks may require immediate treatment. Providing a safe environment and responding to accidents and injuries in a timely and professional manner are essential caregiver responsibilities. 

School Health Programme in NigeriaNigerian students will spend more than 14,000 hours in school between their first day of Crèche and their last day of Secondary school. This is a long time away from their parents and presents a legal liability to schools to ensure these children are safe or professionally attended to in cases of accidents or illnesses.

Health-related factors such as hunger, physical and emotional abuse, and chronic illness can lead to poor school performance. We understand that working parents require peace of mind while schools require professionalism and competence in maintaining the health status of the children in their care.

Schools play a critical role in promoting the health and safety of young people and helping them establish lifelong healthy behaviours. Scientific reviews have documented that school health programmes can have a positive effect on academic outcomes, as well as health-risk behaviours and health outcomes.
