PERSONAL HYGIENE PROGRAMME In
its effort to help children across the country through the problem
of lice, Mediker has a vision to make Haryana the first lice free
state in the country by the year 2010. Partnering Mediker through
this effort is School Health Annual Report Programme (SHARP), committed
to safeguarding the health of school children. Thus, SHARP is conducting
hygiene and lice checks in every school in Haryana so as to ensure
that every girl child in Haryana is declared free of lice. 55 schools
have been covered so far and Ryan International School, Faridabad
is the 56th.
In the pursuance of Health awareness programmes in school children
we got an opportunity to make our operations in Haryana in collaboration
with Marico Industries Ltd, Mumbai to conduct free Hygiene Check-up
Programme in school children between the age group of 5 to 12 years
(Classes III to VIII). During hygiene check-up, the following things
are inspected for:
i) Hair Hygiene ii) Dental Hygiene iii) Nail Hygiene iv) Nape Hygiene
v) Ear Hygiene. The survey report of all these parameters will be
made available after the completion of Ist Phase of the programme.
During the survey it has been found that very few children are conscious
about the good personal hygiene, which is the basic of leading a
good healthy life.
To inculcate good Hygiene habits amongst children in Haryana, we
have chosen Hisar, Faridabad & Panipat in our Phase-I Programme
wherein we are conducting free Hygiene Check-up Programme in schools
of Hisar, Faridabad & Panipat District. Later on all the districts
of Haryana will be covered under this. We have already completed
our programme in schools of Hisar and the programme is still going
on in schools of Faridabad and Panipat. The programme was widely
covered by the print media and SITI cable at Hisar where more than
10,000 students were covered in 25 schools.

FIRST AID TRAINING PROGRAMME
First
aid is the emergency care given to sick or injured people providing
temporary assistance or treatment until medical help is available.
An important aspect of first aid, besides knowing what to do for
a victim, is also knowing what not to do. The objective of the training
is to familiarize the school children with basic first aid techniques
in some common emergencies. They learn what first aid is, what it
can accomplish and measures to take for the treatment of shock,
bleeding, burns, and fractures; methods of resuscitation; and methods
of moving injured persons.
Objectives of First Aid
The knowledge of first aid measures and their proper application
may mean the difference between life and death, between rapid recovery
and long hospitalization, or between temporary disability or permanent
injury.
The objectives of first aid are to save lives and prevent further
injury. However, first aid is not a substitute for proper medical
treatment.
