4.3 Health Office 

The Health Office aims to provide care for children and staff to ensure that they can be as  healthy as possible to maximize their experience at school. We provide care for acute and  chronic illnesses, first aid, health education for children, teachers and parents, and health  screening. We also provide a resource for the school community about health care in Mumbai. 

The Health Office is staffed by qualified, experienced nurses. We have a paediatrician and  a physician on campus one day per week. They are also available on an as-needed basis  through the health office to coordinate healthcare. 

The nurses help to ensure that all staff at ASB have current first aid certification. First aid  kits are provided around the campus and for field trips. An AED (Automated External  Defibrillator) is available on each campus. 

Please ensure that your child’s health and contact information is kept up to date. We  would also request that if your child is sick with fever, vomiting and/or diarrhoea that they  do not return to school until 24 hours after they are well.

Students who become ill during the day may seek teacher permission or advice to visit the  nurse’s office. If the nurse determines that the student is too ill to remain at school, he/she  will contact the parents to inform them of the situation and to arrange transportation for  the child. Students should not arrange to leave school for health reasons without first  talking with a healthcare professional at the school.
