The Infirmary, which was opened in 2000, in just a classroom, became fully operational in a building of its own in 2004. The centrally air-conditioned building has provision for 11 beds, six for the boys and five for the girls. The doctor’s room and the nursing station complete the picture. During school hours, as well as after school, there is a nurse in attendance for Umang children or for those who stay back. In addition School also has an agreement with the closest hospital for emergencies.
Regular check-ups of the students and staff are conducted through the year. Records of medicines/first aid administered are kept meticulously. The Umang children are provided with supplements and routine check-ups for them are also conducted.
The infirmary is used to tackling emergency situations, such as fainting, epilepsy, asthma attacks, hyperventilation attacks, cuts and wounds, as well as fractures. First-aid workshops are held for both staff and students. The infirmary is also in charge of providing first-aid kits for school outings. Oxygen cylinders as well as nebulizers are available round the clock. Lastly, stretchers and a wheelchair are also available.
At the start of the year parents are expected to provide details of medical conditions of their ward that require monitoring and this information is shared with the Class teacher and the Infirmary staff. In addition it is advised that the emergency medicine be provided to the child and the Infirmary and checked regularly for expiry etc.
