Need for School Health Services.
Schools bring together large populations of students and staff with needs for first aid management, detection of contagious diseases, routine medication administration, specialized health care procedures for students with special health care needs, and so forth. To address these issues, some of which are legislative mandates, a system needs to be in place to reduce risks and liability. In addition, because education and health are linked, health services are needed to promote student health and prevent disease. Therefore, although the primary goal of schools is education, basic school health services are an essential component of today’s education program. Roles and responsibilities for school health services should be considered by school authorities and management.
