Medical Summer Camp for High School Students – how to implement it?

The transition from high school to the intricacies of adolescence presents several difficulties for students. Most health problems and behavioural issues undetected during this period have a long-term impact in adulthood.

Setting a healthy goal for children of this age enables them to ace their academics. In this article let's discuss how to implement medical summer camp to detect health issues in high school students.

Challenges to implementing school health program:

Many parents do not opt for a health check-up for their children regularly nor do all schools have school health programs in place. Several other measures are taken if the child performs poorly in school. For example, changing school or personal tuition; however undetected health problems take a back seat.

The procedure of implementing a medical camp at a school is difficult. Schools, medical experts, and parents are a few of the stakeholders who must work diligently and together. Sadly, several obstacles could prevent such a programme from being implemented successfully.

These difficulties include a lack of understanding of the value of preventative screenings, a lack of funding for programme implementation, a lack of infrastructure to facilitate health screenings in schools, and opposition from parents and children.

School-related stress, sedentary lifestyle, eyesight issues, body image issues, poor interpersonal communication skills, increased use of social media, bad time management, poor decision-making skills and on top of that making unhealthy choices are some of the common problems of high school students.

A health check-up camp serves the purpose of bringing them on the healthy track.
