School health care

School health care is a statutory and cost-free preventive primary health care service for comprehensive school pupils and their families. The purpose of school health care is to promote the healthy growth and development of children and young people, and to create a foundation for a healthy adulthood. Health examinations are organised in accordance with the age and individual needs of the pupils. The school health care services handle illnesses and accidents that occur during the school day.
