School-Based Health Centers
Reviving Health: A School-Based Initiative

'Reviving Health: A School-Based Initiative' is an innovative project designed to address the health needs of students within their schools. The project is led by Dr. Lisa Thompson and a team consisting of school nurses, pediatricians, and community health workers. Their goal is to provide school-based health centers (SBHCs) that promote preventative healthcare and address common health issues among students. It also aims at enabling accessibility of health services to underserved and vulnerable student population thereby elevating their academic performance by maintaining good health.

The project functions by utilizing underused spaces within schools to create mini health centers. These spaces are equipped with basic medical tools and are staffed by trained nurses and visiting doctors. The model has been successfully implemented in several schools leading to improved students' health and reduction in absenteeism. The project has shown that having health centers in schools increases the chances of children getting health check-ups and necessary medical aid. It's a solution that has been instrumental in removing barriers to access to healthcare for students.
