Students’ Health care Program at the Asian International School
Student health is one of the primary concerns for the Asian International School. Students are expected to participate in the monthly health program, as supervised by the school's medical staff, to ensure that their health and development is in good standing. This program is also unique because it invites medical personnel from the school's district to conduct general health examinations for every student at the beginning of every school year. A team of specialized health professionals, including doctors and nurses, are always responsible for the health care of the students, which their parents are satisfied with and absolutely believe in.

In November of the 2013 school year, the Board of Management at the Asian International School organized general health examinations for all students attending all six International Primary School (IPS) campuses. Students were examined with respect to the following conditions: weight, ears, nose, eyesight and vision, epidermis, spinal, and cardiovascular health among other routine health checks. The students were placed under special care by the team of health professionals. After the examinations, the parents were immediately provided with their child's results.
Student physicals are held regularly every year so that we can detect and prevent any health concerns that are commonly found in students such as refractive or curved scoliosis, respiratory problems, oral hygiene, malnourishment, or obesity.

Doctors are enthusiastic to check every student's health
Student health is, without a doubt, an important factor for the physical and intellectual development of a child. There has been a considerable amount of investment by the school to improve the medical equipment and services across all the campuses. The teachers and medical staff are all committed and devoted to caring for our students to ensure they are all as healthy as they can be. Our school is proud of the fact that our students are in good health because it instills confidence in our students to excel in their learning and physical activities.

Thoughts from the students and the medical staff:
Nguyen Hoang Lam – Student from class 1-09
"This is my first time getting a general physical examination with the doctors. My height was measured, my eyes and vision were examined, as well as my back, arms, and legs The doctors here are very nice as is my campus' s medical staff. Every month, she checks my health and lets my parents know how I am doing. My friends and I really appreciate her."
Thai Boi Ngoc – Student from class 5-08
"I have had the student physicals by the district's doctors for 5 years at school. In grade 1, thanks to the school's physical examination, they discovered that I had an inflamed skin condition. The skin condition was reported to my parents and I was fully treated. I believe that the student health care program is very good and comprehensive."
Nguyen Thanh Dat – Student from class 5-04
"While studying at the Asian International School, the medical staff have taken care of me on a monthly basis.The district's doctors have also provided me with general health checks. Through regular check-ups, I was able to maintain good health for the last five years. I am incredibly thankful to the school because their caring attention for our health lets us have fun and study better."
Ms. Nguyen Thi To Quyen - Medical personnel Conghoa Campus
"I have worked at the Asian International School since 2011. Every month I conduct weigh-ins, vision and dental exams for the children. During the health checks, I will converse with the children and consult their teacher regarding their health. Afterward, I provide the Board of Management at the school the report. The medical staff here has a very close relationship with the students through our regular contact with them. The children are excellent and are always willing to listen to my words of advice for good health."
Ms. Nguyen Thi Chau Pha - Medical personnel Trannhatduat Campus
"Aside from my daily duties that require me to advise and treat students with health concerns, such as stomachaches, fevers, coughs, or colds, I also regularly communicate seasonal health information to the children. For example, how to prevent certain illnesses in the summer or rainy season. In order to ensure good health care for the children, I also participate in the inspection and storage of food, including food hygiene and safety, as well as overall hygiene at the schools. I realize that this work is imperative for improving the quality of the students' learning and lifestyle."
