S.Y. 2017-2018
San Isidro National High School participates in the simultaneously National School
Deworming Day of Department of Health in partnership with the Department of Education every July
and January of the school year.

The National Deworming Month is observed twice a year (January and July) towards the

administration for STH is done in schools and the community.

The National School Based Deworming month (NSDM) aims to deworm 17,813,379 children in
public schools ages 5-18 years old. Meanwhile, Community Based Deworming month (CBDM) targets
10,572,404 preschool children ages 1-4 years old and 15,471,889 children not enrolled in public
schools through various health centers and rural health units under the LGUs.

Soil-transmitted Helminthiasis is considered a public health concern by the health sectors


because of its effects on the growth and development of a child. It can cause anemia, malnutrition,
weakness, impaired physical and cognitive development.

The teacher makes sure that all their children were present in that day so that no one can
be left behind, teacher talk to the parents of the students to advice that all they children need to have
full stomach before entering to the school that will serve as a precautionary measure in taking
deworming medicine. Teachers facilitate the distribution of chewable tablets to the pupils with the
assistance of health personnel.

At the end, the said occasion was very successful with the collaborative effort of everyone.
Health and education, particularly for school-age children, are truly closely interrelated and effective
learning cannot happen without the students being healthy.
