The medical department, supervised by the school physician, is made up of four infirmaries, each staffed with one nurse.
-
Minor emergencies: are attended to at one of the school infirmaries
-
Severe emergencies: are transferred to hospital care after notifying the student’s parents
Medical records are maintained by the medical department.
Upon the registration of the child, a confidential medical form is filled out by the child’s parents and their family physician, specifying details about age, vaccinations, past illnesses, present problems and family status. This form is returned to the school to become part of each student’s medical file.
A regular comprehensive check up including age, weight, height and vision is performed by the school physician.
