The school health clinics are a new project of the Delhi government along the lines of its flagship mohalla clinics but are to be used exclusively by the students of respective schools. These clinics are meant for both routine health check-ups and mental health counselling. They will operate from porta cabins installed in the school premises.
School Health Clinics are to be introduced in all schools in the NCT of Delhi to provide physical and mental health services to children. The clinics will also focus on the emotional well being of the students, address issues related to their mental health and offer counselling too. “This becomes more important specially during COVID when students are not able to intermingle,” says an official from the education department.
