Developing Basic Health Care Facility at Tameer-e-Millat City of Education

Health Services
This component deals with the provision of health services at school level. Health services consist of treatment for minor problems, periodic screening, and referral of complicated and emergency cases.      

Treatment
There is a basic health unit in TMCE where the provision of basic medicines and treatment services is available. School health unit is performing the following functions;

• Monitoring of age appropriate developmental milestones,
• Provision of basic first aid and treatment services,
• Temporary stay or day care services (sick patients stay for few hours in health unit for continuous observation or pre-hospital care) 
• Maintenance of students health record

Screening
School-based screening for health problems is an important component of a school health program. By detecting previously unrecognized conditions or preclinical illnesses as early as possible, school-based screening enables timely intervention and remediation, which can limit potential disability, medical costs, and negative impact on school performance. TMSHS organize screening once a year in collaboration of Shifa College of Nursing.  

Referral
As there is not enough facility available at school healthy unit level to treat the complicated and severely injured cases so TMSHS refer such cases to secondary level health care facility like THQ Hospital, Fateh Jang and Shifa International Hospitals Limited, Islamabad.

Ambulance Services
TMSHS has its own Ambulance donated by Rotary Club of Pakistan to transport emergency and complicated cases. TMF thanks Mr. Shakil Hasan Ansari of RC Islamabad Cosmopolitan and President of Madera Sunrise RC, Dr. Afzal Arain for their dedicated efforts to disburse this donation.
