Young children are often very curious and like to explore everything around them. Crawling on the floor, rubbing their hands, and walking barefoot makes children very susceptible to helminths.
In Vietnam, the most common types of sugar worms in humans are rodworms, whipworms and hookworms. Children are often infected with pinworms. People infected with worms often experience indigestion, abdominal pain, diarrhea, anemia, malnutrition and can cause many other obesity health problems.
Therefore, the Ministry of Health encourages people to consciously use worm medicine periodically to protect the health of themselves and their families.
TFM School proactively prevents the risk of children being infected with helminths by periodically deworming children 24 months and older.
Time: 2 times/year.
• Zone 1: Early June
• Scene 2: Early December
Drug name: Mebendazole 500mg 1 single prescription.
In addition to preventing worm infections at school, school classes also need the cooperation of parents by:
- Keep the house clean, instruct children to wash their hands regularly before eating and after using the toilet.
- Maintain eating hygiene, ensure cooked food, boiled drinks, and eat fruits after peeling.
- When deworming, all family members should be dewormed at the same time to avoid cross-infection between parents, children, and siblings.
Below are pictures of the worms from the 1st school year 2023 - 2024:
Periodic health checks for students is a very important activity in school health work. Besides education, management and student health care are always given special attention by TFM school.
