SCHOOL – Andrea Nobili highlights the need, especially in the period of the pandemic, to promote coordination with the socio-health sector
The Childhood Guarantor, Andrea Nobili, writes to Asur with the intention of starting a reflection on school medicine and social and health integration for the well-being of children and adolescents. According to Nobili, «the activation of school medicine services represents the realization of important social and health facilities, directly operating in the daily life of school life in close contact with students, parents, teachers and Ata staff. A very appropriate declination of territorial medicine ». The invitation that the Guarantor addresses to Asur is to adopt suitable measures, so that the school medicine services are rethought, adapting to the provisions of the 1978 law, on the establishment of the national health service, in the field of hygiene and school medicine. .
“The critical issues that exploded with the Covid 19 pandemic – highlights Nobili – have made it necessary and increasingly urgent to promote coordination between the social and health sector and the school sector, which unfortunately has recently manifested a sterile disconnect. In the schools, social and health services would thus be created that would allow not only to deal more effectively with the current emergency, but to intervene on aspects of primary importance, such as health and hygiene, nutritional ones related to school meals, those relating to the psychological support of minors. age”. The last consideration that the Guarantor inserts in his letter to Asur is that “school medicine makes it possible to create connection figures between families and local medicine, able to give increasingly effective answers to the welfare needs of the school community, guaranteeing screening interventions for the prevention and early diagnosis of pathologies of developmental age, assistance interventions and monitoring of the well-being conditions of students ».
