| dc.description.abstract | This study is an assessment of the school heal t h service in Addis Ababa which has been operating for the last 45 years. Fifty-seven school clinics serving a student population of 197,181were selected according to set criteria. These school clinics were visited; medical records and reports for the 1985/86 school year reviewed, and school health workers interviewed. Najar health problems of school children and problems in the delivery of the school health service its lf are identified .Accidents and injuries were found to be the most prevalent health problems of school children with an overall incidence rate of about 22%. Over 45% of the reported deaths for which causes were possibly known during the same period were also due to accidents. Other categories of health problems include intestinal parasite, dental problems, skin infections, eye and Ear problems and venereal diseases. Available data suggest that most of these problems were consistently occurring over the past 26 years, Except for dental caries which has possibly appeared as new phenomena in recent years. | en_US |
