On March 13, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health said that in recent times, educational institutions from preschool to high school in the city have organized health checks for students at the beginning of each school year. This will help detect diseases and disabilities early, promptly transfer children to medical facilities for examination and treatment according to regulations and apply a study and training regimen appropriate to the health status of students.
However, health check-up activities still have some limitations such as health check-up results are recorded on paper forms, causing difficulties in synthesizing, reporting and managing.

According to the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health, digital transformation of student health check-ups is of particular importance as it helps to continuously monitor the health status of each student from preschool to high school. Student health data will be integrated into health records as soon as the health sector deploys health records. In addition, thanks to digital transformation, school disease models are quickly identified, providing an important basis for the health sector to deploy school health interventions.
