Infirmary

The school’s nursing service is primarily responsible for ensuring the health and well-being of students during both curricular and extracurricular activities. It carries out functions focused on immediate care, as well as health promotion and prevention. According to guidelines from the District Health Department and in compliance with Law 911 of 2004 (Colombia) and other relevant regulations, medications cannot be administered to students in the school’s nursing office without a medical prescription submitted directly.

Main Functions

The school health service provides immediate care in the event of accidents or emergency situations on campus, as well as ongoing monitoring and support for students with conditions such as asthma, allergies, or diabetes. It also focuses on identifying signs of illness or general discomfort to ensure timely attention, guiding students on healthy habits, personal hygiene, balanced nutrition, and self-care. In addition, the health team coordinates with parents, teachers, and staff regarding any relevant health situations. Regular screenings, such as school-based hearing and vision tests, are conducted to detect potential issues early and refer students to the appropriate specialists when necessary.
