Saipung, 27 October 2026: A team from Jowai conducted a free medical check-up at Standard English School (SES), Saipung, on 27 October 2026, under the Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram (RBSK), the National Child Health Programme.
The medical team examined students from Nursery to Class VII, with the aim of assessing their health conditions and identifying health issues requiring medical attention. Students who needed medication were provided with the necessary medicines free of cost.
During the medical examination, around 10 students were referred to Saipung Primary Health Centre (PHC) and Jowai Hospital for further medical evaluation and treatment.
The team also suspected possible cases of congenital heart disease in two Nursery students and one Class VI student. The parents of the Class VI student were advised to take further steps for medical evaluation and appropriate treatment. Meanwhile, the parents of the two Nursery students were advised to wait until the children reach six years of age, as recommended by the medical team.
The health check-up was a valuable initiative aimed at promoting children’s health and well-being by enabling early detection of potential health problems and ensuring timely medical intervention where necessary.
The school community expressed its appreciation for the medical team’s visit and the free healthcare services provided to the students. The programme highlighted the importance of regular health check-ups in schools to safeguard children’s health and support their overall development.
