The numerous fun activities children engage in during the long summer holidays often expose them to bacteria, viruses, and potentially harmful diseases, which can easily be transmitted. In addition, children are at a critical point of development and need routine health checks to proactively manage any deficiency/defects in growth and development.
According to the CEO of Paelon Memorial Hospital, Dr. Ngozi Onyia, the Health Assessment Checklist is not meant to exclude any child from school.
There is also Developmental Tests, which include: vision assessment; visual acuity, color blindness; speech and hearing screening tests, Neurological function assessment, and Social skills assessment.
