- Keep appropriate supplies to deal with minor illnesses, injuries and emergency care.
- Promotion of healthy lifestyles.
- Health care advice to students, their families and staff, providing information as needed.
- Identify health problems by observing and assessing needs and providing appropriate care.
- Administration of medication as needed and with the agreement of the parents.
- Respond to emergencies and be available during sports and other events, upon request.
- Give lectures to students on the requested topics and offer training/seminar to staff on basic treatment and first aid.
- Promote and assist in the control of communicable diseases through early symptom detection, surveillance, reporting and monitoring of communicable diseases.
​
The infirmary consists of two nurses. It is open from 8am to 5pm Monday to Friday.
In case of emergency or illness, nurses provide immediate first aid and provide parents with a provisional diagnosis. It is always recommended to go to the nearest hospital for further assessment and treatment.
​
In the event of a serious problem, the child is evacuated to a hospital near the Lycée in the presence of an adult and the parents are immediately informed.
