Health evaluation is a continuous process that involves medical inspection of children by doctors to check for any diseases or disorders, treatment if needed, and follow-up care. It aims to keep children healthy so their education is not hampered and involves teachers, nurses, doctors, and parents. The process has three stages - medical inspection, remediation or treatment, and follow-up study. Periodic medical inspections in schools are important to properly diagnose and treat any issues found, but many private schools currently do not conduct these inspections adequately. Effective medical inspections require qualified doctors, annual examinations of each child, record keeping, and vaccination programs with follow-up and cooperation from parents, teachers, and children.
