Introduction:

Promoting Holistic Student Health: Harnessing Ayushman Bharat Health Mission, Health Care Partnerships and FHIR Technology in a Comprehensive School Health Care Program.

B. Mental Health: By providing on-site counselling services and incorporating stress management strategies in our curriculum, we hope to bolster our students' mental

C. Social Health: Through interactive workshops and group activities, we plan to enhance our students' social skills, fostering a supportive community where each student feels valued.
