School clinic by now is one of the needs when it comes to educational institution, it is exemplary to

schools since school clinics are the ones who mostly take care and gives an outlook on every student
health and for the students itself. There are pros and cons that people should take a look when it comes
to school clinic and with the student health. According to Haas and Robert (2006) opined that health and
education are largely interdependent on young people growth and development, health challenges pose
interruptions, distractions and impediments that placed students in a bad position to learn. The health
of the students has a varieties of impacts when it comes the educational institution especially the school
clinic, it has a different effect on the school clinic on how are they supposed to respond to it especially
that they take full responsibility on students when they are in the premises, it also has an effect to the
student’s educational performance when they need to consider the different health problems of some
students. WHO, (2012) explained that a health promoting school is one that constantly strengthens its
capacity as a healthy setting for living, learning and working. The school holds legible to the student
health when they’re inside the school and school clinic is the one who will handle them, it strengthens
the capacity for students for their learning in school since there is a school clinic inside that can assist
them when they’re having health problems. There are factors that needs to be considered when it
comes to the student health and the effect of school clinic to the school’s performance, Physical and
mental health problems cause children to miss school, lack energy, be distracted, or have other
problems that impair their ability to learn (Health/Education Consortium, 1990). With these given
reasons for them to miss school, it gives the school clinic to know on how they can be in help when
students are experiencing these scenarios because these reasons are still timely today. Teachers know
that learning is easier when a child feels well (Brink & Nader, 1984). Students health is the school clinics
focus; they are knowledgeable when it comes to handling student’s health but maintaining the wellness
of the student’s health is one thing that they should look out for because their health is a great factor
that can affect their academic performance. The primary function of a School-Based Health Clinic is to
provide onsite healthcare services in schools. Partnerships between community health care
organizations and schools are developed to offer services to students (National Assembly of School-
Based Healthcare [NASBHC], 2009). Health care organizations is important to schools since they look
out and handle every student who needs health assistant when they’re inside the school premises.
Students experience different health problems and establishing school clinic is important because as
said by WHO, (2012) it strengthens the capacity of students for them to still learn inside the school
premises. Expanding the school clinics capacity can be a great help for the school so they can further
assist every student’s especially when it’s health-related matter.
