A guide for principals and trustees
Educure School Health arranges school health services in India: on-campus student health checkups, school clinic and nurse support, counsellor and child psychologist services, student fitness assessment and health awareness sessions. Schools can request one service or a coordinated programme, with clinical scope, professional qualifications, dates and availability confirmed in a written proposal.
For principals and trustees, this page brings together the services you can arrange, the ten components of a school health programme, government policy context and what to compare before appointing a provider. Educure is a private school healthcare provider, separate from government programmes. Services are contracted through schools, not public walk-in clinics.
Scope and staffing confirmed in your proposal
A school's health needs extend beyond a one-day camp. Match each service to a practical responsibility: screening and family follow-up, care during school hours, emotional support, inclusive movement or health education. The links below explain scope and quotation conditions; no single package automatically includes every service.
Arrange age-appropriate general, vision, dental, growth and other agreed screening on campus. Parents receive private findings and referral guidance; leadership receives an aggregate summary. Screening identifies concerns for clinical follow-up, not a final diagnosis.
Discuss an onsite nurse, medical-room readiness, visit documentation, parent contact and agreed doctor escalation. Confirm daily hours, absence arrangements, equipment and supplies in the proposal; hospital care and emergency transport are separate arrangements.
Plan confidential student support, teacher and parent sensitisation and age-appropriate wellbeing sessions. Professional role, qualifications, schedule, safeguarding and referral boundaries are agreed with the school. Counselling and specialist clinical assessment are not interchangeable.
Select age-appropriate movement and growth assessments, then use guidance to plan inclusive PE activities and review progress. Results are approximate screening indicators, not official Khelo India certification, medical clearance or public rankings of children.
Choose nutrition, hygiene, HPV awareness, adolescent wellbeing or personal-safety topics for the relevant grades. Agree learning objectives, facilitator qualifications, language and consent requirements before delivery. Awareness does not automatically include vaccination or treatment.
For health and first-aid responsibilities, see school safety planning. Building, fire and transport certification belong with the appropriate authorities and professionals.
A complete school health programme has ten connected parts. Few schools start with all of them; most build up over time.
Children spend a large part of their day at school, so the school is often where a problem is first noticed: a child who cannot read the board, who is often tired, or whose behaviour changes. Without a system, these signs depend on one alert teacher. With school health services in place, every child is looked at regularly and the next step is clear.
Health and learning are closely connected. A child with an uncorrected vision problem, a toothache or untreated anxiety will struggle in class however good the teaching is. For school leaders, a structured programme also brings practical benefits: safer handling of emergencies, records that support inspections and board requirements, and greater confidence among parents.
Paragraph 2.9 of NEP 2020 says that children's nutrition and health, including mental health, will be addressed in schools, including through counsellors and social workers, and that all school children shall undergo regular health check-ups, especially for 100% immunisation, with health cards issued to monitor them.
A joint initiative of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and the Ministry of Education, launched in February 2020 for government and government-aided schools. Two teachers in each school are trained as Health and Wellness Ambassadors and deliver weekly activity-based sessions on 11 thematic areas.
A national programme that screens children from birth to 18 years for defects at birth, diseases, deficiencies and developmental delays, and refers identified children for treatment, including through District Early Intervention Centres. Screening in government schools and Anganwadis is done by mobile health teams.
These are government programmes. Educure is a private school healthcare provider; our services are separate from, and do not replace, these programmes. Schools should confirm the current requirements of their board and state.
Educure works with private, aided, CBSE, ICSE, state-board and international schools to plan and run school health services on campus. Most schools start with one service, often the annual student health checkup, and add others such as a school nurse, a counsellor, fitness assessment or awareness sessions as their needs become clear.
Each programme begins with a conversation about enrolment, grades, campus facilities, timetable and existing staff. We then prepare a written proposal setting out the scope, staffing, dates, reporting and price, including GST and any travel. Availability, staff hours and scope are confirmed in the proposal rather than assumed. Consent is collected before screening, every family receives a private report, and school leaders receive an aggregate summary.
This national guide explains the service category and policy context. For Educure's combined delivery model, see our coordinated school health programme.
Choosing a provider? Read 12 questions to ask a school health service provider.
To arrange school health services anywhere in India, start with the actual campus needs rather than a list of promised outcomes. A day school with an existing nurse needs a different plan from a residential campus or a school group coordinating several branches.
Provide the exact campus location, enrolment, grades, academic timetable, current nurse or counsellor provision and preferred service dates. Include separate details for every branch and any accessibility needs.
Choose screening modules, clinic or counselling hours, fitness activities and awareness topics. Confirm proposed professional qualifications, private rooms, equipment, supplies, safeguarding duties and emergency referral responsibilities.
Agree informed consent, authorised parent contacts, class-wise movement and secure report access. Document how known care instructions reach responsible clinical staff without sharing a child's records more widely than necessary.
Separate completed screening from outstanding referrals. Families receive their child's findings; management uses non-identifying summaries to plan the next session or service. A referral recommendation is not evidence that treatment has been completed.
School health service costs depend on the service selected. Annual checkups are quoted by student enrolment and agreed scope; clinic and counselling arrangements depend on professional role, hours, campus needs and availability. A price for one module is not the cost of an entire year-round programme.
Compare proposals on the same basis: checkup modules, proposed team qualifications, report format, equipment and supplies, follow-up responsibilities, service hours, applicable GST and any outstation travel. Extra tests, treatment, specialist consultations and vaccination require separate agreement and consent where relevant. No quotation is a guarantee of statutory compliance or a particular health outcome.
These are on-campus services for schools, not walk-in clinics or city offices. Dates, staffing and any travel charges are confirmed in each proposal.
