Abstract

School Health Services is a service provided by the Malaysian Ministry of Health to students in school to ensure optimal health care through health promotion, disease prevention, treatment and referral. Health services were started in Malaysia in 1967 and from 1975 School Health Teams were established to enable visits to be made to primary and secondary schools throughout Malaysia. The publication of the School Health Service Guidelines Book is an effort to improve quality services provided by the Malaysian Ministry of Health to school students systematically. This Guidebook can help Medical Officers and health members of the School Health Team detect health problems that can hinder school academic achievement and then make early referrals. Although services are provided outside the premises of the Ministry of Health, each member who serves in the School Health Team must provide a holistic and quality service. Therefore, each member must refer to the School’s Health Service Guidelines Book to ensure that each student receives optimal services according to their age. It is hoped that the use of these guidelines can help the School Health Team in terms of planning, implementing and monitoring school health services more efficiently and effectively.
