Parents of 11-12-year-old children began to receive invitations to medical examination from the health cashier
Parents of children aged 11–12 years will receive an invitation from the cash desk of health for a planned medical examination of their child, writes BNS on Friday, referring to the message of the press service of the box office.
The cash desk of health began to send notifications to parents of children 11-12 years old, in which their child was invited to a family doctor for a planned medical examination. At the same time, the responsibility for applying to the Center for Family Medicine remains for the parent.
If medical examinations of school -age children are usually conducted by a school nurse and notifications come to parents through an educational institution, then informing parents about control medical examinations in family medicine centers was previously inconsistent and participation in such examinations was low. In order for parents to know when it is time for them to take the child to the family doctor for examination, the health cash desk will first send their parents notifications with a reminder of examinations of children aged 11-12 years, but later notifications of examinations of other groups of preschool and school age will be added.
“Regular control examinations help to monitor the development of the child and identify potential health problems at an early stage, when they can still be solved with the help of small interventions. Control medical examinations of children are carried out regularly at a certain age – from the period of the newborn to adulthood. We urge parents not to miss preventive control examinations, since the parent himself may not notice the health problem in the child, and the child may not be To complain about it on her own, ”said Liuz Kruguz, head of the portfolio of medical services of the health box office.
The family doctor Alina Terep noted that it is in early adolescence that a number of dangers associated with development are maintained – such as too fast or too slow growth, excess or insufficient weight, as well as problems associated with posture or vision.
“Although children 11-12 years old are sick less often than preschool children – for example, respiratory diseases, which leads to the lack of regular appeals to the centers of family medicine, so the systematic preventive examination remains extremely important. Most of the centers of family medicine actively invite children to planned examinations, which allows you to timely identify, for example, overweight, impaired development or signs of a non -healthy lifestyle. Therefore, we are especially especially for us. The initiative of the health cash desk, acting as an additional way to the parents about the need for a control visit to the family doctor, although it is limited to a general conversation and basic physical examination, provides an opportunity to discuss important aspects as the regime of the day, nutrition, the level of physical activity and the emotional state, and also prescribe additional studies for children at risk, ”the doctor remembered. Terep.
Checking the health of children aged 11-12 years is part of the state plan for observing the health status of children. During health testing, the family doctor measures the height and weight of the child, arterial pressure, posture and vision are checked, the heart and lungs are heard, etc. In addition, questions are asked about the daily routine, habits in sports, time spent behind the screen, and mood swings.
The cash desk of health sends to parents notifications about the need to check health on SMS and in electronic form to the email address indicated on the state portal Eesti.ee. The parent can also see a notification by entering the state portal. In order for the notification to reach each parent, the health cash desk asks to check and, if necessary, update its contact details on the state portal eesti.ee.
To take part in the control of health, you need to make an appointment with the family doctor. In order to have time to undergo a medical examination before the start of the new school year, you should plan a visit to the family doctor during the summer holidays and make an appointment in advance.
According to the guide to observe the health of the child, after infancy, a preschool child must undergo an examination by a family doctor aged 2, 3, 4 years, as well as 5 and 6-7 years. A school -age child should undergo an examination by a family doctor aged 11–12 and 15–16 years. Medical control examinations are conducted by a school nurse in the I, III, VII and X classes (1st year in a professional educational institution).
