OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION

  • Once a pupil is received at the health unit, the parent is notified before treatment is commenced. In case a parent does not want the child to be treated at the health center, this parent gives a written and signed consent to this.
  • After parent consents to treatment of their child and the child is treated, a bill will be made and sent to parents for payment and parents should be conscious to conform.

    • The unit keeps a register of all those who consulted, putting into consideration the diagnosis, laboratory investigation and treatment given. Therefore, clients should avoid withholding information as this is critical to appropriate diagnosis. 
    • A pupil who was absent for health reasons has as duty to present hospital records to the Sr. EFMFC for verifications upon return to campus. Only with a valid recommendation from the Sr. EFMFC will the sick absence be termed valid.
    • Likewise, we encourage pupils consulting other health institutions or their private doctors, to notify the unit.  
    • Pupils’ parents, guardians and caretakers should respect the health personnel and trust their judgment and avoid imposing especially technically.
