NGUYEN SIEU PRIMARY SCHOOL TAKES THE LEAD IN RESPONDING TO HANOI'S PERIODIC HEALTH EXAMINATION PLAN FOR STUDENTS

On the very first day of Hanoi’s city-wide implementation of periodic health check-ups for students, this morning, August 18, 2026, Nguyen Sieu Primary School actively coordinated with Yen Hoa Ward to organize health examinations for more than 1,200 students. This makes Nguyen Sieu the first school in Yen Hoa Ward to roll out this meaningful initiative.

According to the Hanoi Department of Health's plan, the city aims to provide free periodic health check-ups for children and students, striving to have 100% of eligible students examined prior to the start of the new school year. At the same time, the city will gradually build electronic health records and integrate health data into electronic report cards.

Notably, the city's plan specifies the implementation timeline from August 18 to September 4, 2026. On day one—August 18—Nguyen Sieu Primary School swiftly put the policy into practice through a well-prepared program organized for over 1,200 students.

To ensure the execution was timely and thorough from the very first day, the school received close direction and active support from local leadership in Yen Hoa Ward and relevant functional units. The companionship of local authorities served as a crucial foundation for Nguyen Sieu Primary School to quickly translate city policy into concrete, practical actions directly benefitting student health and well-being.

In addition to preparing full facilities, physical spaces, and resources for the check-up process, the school proactively upgraded its IT infrastructure to facilitate creating, updating, entering, and syncing data with the City's Electronic Health Record System and shared platforms of the Ministry of Health under standardized guidelines. Concurrently, the school coordinated the integration of health check-up information into electronic report cards, ensuring long-term, accurate, and seamless management of student health data.

Swift Action from Policy to Implementation

Upon receiving official plans from higher authorities, the school actively collaborated with Yen Hoa Ward to prepare necessary conditions for a smooth, scientific, and safe examination process. Given the large student body, organization was prioritized to guide students class by class according to structured time slots, minimizing congestion and avoiding stress for the students.

This aligns directly with the City’s mandate for educational institutions: coordinate with local health stations and relevant units to arrange venues, assign focal personnel, notify parents in advance, and manage student movement systematically by class, grade, or designated time windows.

Caring for Student Health from the Basics

For students aged 6 to under 18, check-ups cover physical assessments and several specialized categories including pediatrics, ophthalmology, ENT (ear, nose, and throat), and dentistry, along with taking medical histories to detect issues requiring follow-up or early intervention. Conducting check-ups right before the new school year equips families and the school with crucial health insights, enabling proactive care, learning support, and physical development planning. At Nguyen Sieu, education extends beyond classroom lessons—physical health, mental well-being, and holistic growth remain vital components of the educational journey.

Pioneering for Students – Partnering with the Community

Becoming the first school in Yen Hoa Ward to execute the new periodic health check-up program demonstrates Nguyen Sieu Primary School's readiness to partner with local government, alongside its capacity to turn practical policies into immediate, tangible actions for students. Over 1,200 students examined on August 18 represent over 1,200 acts of care—a responsible collaboration among families, the school, local authorities, and the healthcare sector to build a safe and compassionate educational environment. From day one of this major initiative for Hanoi students, Nguyen Sieu Primary School chose to respond through direct action.

Proactive implementation, active coordination, and practical student care: this is how Nguyen Sieu Primary School continues to uphold its enduring core value—every student comes to school not only to learn better, but also to grow healthier and develop holistically every day.
