– the first WHO staff to identify
SARS and died of it in Viet Nam

Integrating the Kit into the
school curriculum
Integrating into the school
curriculum
• Check school children’s target
competencies per grade level
• Determine points where the Urbani
School Health Kit might be useful
• Determine whether the
activities/lessons in the Kit can be
INTEGRATED into the planned
lessons; or whether these can be
used as ENHANCEMENT
• Remember that the teacher has
CONTROL over how the Kit will be
used.

About the health
campaigns
A Clean and Healthy Me
• Personal hygiene helps build a healthy body
• Maintaining personal hygiene involves
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
Proper hand washing
Daily bathing
Keeping hair clean and neat
Wearing clean clothes
Brushing teeth
Cutting long fingernails
Covering mouth and nose when sneezing or coughing
Not spitting in public places
Using own drinking cup and utensils
• Maintaining personal hygiene is a responsibility I
take on as I grow older
A Clean Environment and
Healthy Me
• A clean and healthy environment has:
– Safe food and water supply
– Proper waste disposal
– Clean air
– No pests such as flies, cockroaches, and
mosquitoes
• Maintaining a clean environment helps keep
diseases away and fosters growth and
development of children
MORE >>
A Clean Environment and
Healthy Me
• Many disease-causing germs can be found
in dirty environments
• Disease-causing germs enter the body via
different routes: (a) through the mouth,
(b) through the skin
• Ways of keeping the environment clean and
healthy include:
– Ensuring safe food and water supply
– Properly disposing of waste
– Removing breeding places of disease causing
mosquitoes
– Ensuring adequate ventilation
A Lively and Healthy Me
• Worms are parasites that feed on
nutrients in the human bowels
• Worm infections are transmitted through
the mouth and through skin contact with
contaminated soil
• Worms in the body cause abdominal pain,
loss of nutrients, slow growth and
development, and even death
MORE>>
A Lively and Healthy Me
• Worm infections can be prevented by
improving personal hygiene,
practicing proper hand washing,
cooking meat thoroughly, keeping
food and water supplies clean, and
keeping toilets clean.
• Worm infections can be easily
treated by deworming drugs.
A Strong and Healthy Me
• Food is important for growth, energy and
proper functioning of the body
• The three major food groups are the sources
of the essential nutrients needed by the
body: carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins and
minerals
• Fruits and vegetables, rice and whole grain
products, and fish/meat products are good
for the body if taken in appropriate amounts
• Eating too much sweets, fats and salty foods
is bad for the body
MORE >>
A Strong and Healthy Me
• Good nutrition means eating a
variety of food at the right amount
• Maintaining a normal weight is
indicative of good nutrition
• It is important to balance food intake
and physical activity
• Diet and physical activity today affect
future health
A Smiling and Healthy Me
• Children with healty teeth and gums
have more reason to smile
• Avoiding sweets and proper brushing
of teeth keeps dental caries away
• Dental problems start with dental
plaque that could lead to gum
inflammation and dental decay and
eventually loss of teeth
MORE >>
A Smiling and Healthy Me
• Poor oral health (such as bad breath and
loss of teet) can affect one’s nutrition and
social interactions
• Proper brushing of teeth is essential to
healthy gums and teeth
• Choosing what foods to eat and what
foods to avoid is important in keeping
gums and teeth healthy
• If possible, visit the dentist at least twice a
year
A Tobacco-free and Healthy Me
• Tobacco use is bad for health
• Passive smoking can cause disease
• Children should tell adults who smoke in
their presence that smoking is bad for
health
• Resist peer pressure to smoke cigarettes
• Contrary to what you see in movies, music
videos, magazines and television, smoking
does not make you more athletic,
attractive or popular.
A Malaria- and Dengue-free Me
• The mosquito is a potentially harmful
insect since it may carry organisms
that cause malaria and dengue in
humans.
• Protecting oneself form mosquito
bites includes wearing proper clotes,
use of mosquito nets or mosquito
repellants
MORE >>
A Malaria- and Dengue-free Me
• Malaria and dengue can be stopped
by:
– Disposing of waste properly
– Emptying water pots and other potential
mosquito breeding sites
– Covering water containers
– Cleaning streams and sewers
