As the new school year begins on February 23, the Ministry of Health has issued a reminder to families and educational centers about basic health measures to support student well-being. The ministry advises parents not to send children to school if they show symptoms of illness.

Officials also highlight the importance of a balanced diet for students, which helps maintain energy levels, strengthens the immune system, and improves concentration during classes.

Regular hygiene practices such as frequent handwashing are recommended as preventive measures against various diseases. The ministry further urges families to keep their children’s vaccination schedules up to date in order to protect both individual and community health.

The Ministry of Health continues active monitoring and encourages collaboration between families and schools. “The Ministry of Health maintains active surveillance and calls on families and educational centers to work together so that this new school year is a safe, happy, and healthy experience for all children,” stated the ministry.
