Frequently asked questions
Answers for principals, parents and teachers.
The questions we hear most often from school leaders and parents evaluating the program.
How does the school health screening work?
Sehat Bunyad brings a trained on-campus screening camp to your school once per term. Every student is measured for height, weight, BMI, vision and hemoglobin, and results are logged to a private school health dashboard. Parents and teachers also submit short input forms so nutrition and classroom performance are tracked alongside the medical data.
What does the Sehat Bunyad program cost?
The program is priced at PKR 10 per student per day, billed to the school on a per-term basis. This covers all three term cycles — Discover, Intervention and Impact — including screenings, follow-ups, nutrition plans, pediatric referrals and the year-end school impact report.
How is student health data kept private?
Individual student records are only visible to the school administration and the assigned Sehat Bunyad medical team. Parents receive their own child's report privately over WhatsApp. Aggregate school-level metrics are shared for impact reporting; personal medical information is never sold, shared publicly or used for advertising.
Where does Sehat Bunyad operate?
Sehat Bunyad is headquartered in Lahore, Pakistan and currently runs full-cycle programs in seven partner schools across Lahore, including The Allied Education School, The Educators Jallo Campus, Universal Hope School, NECS School, STEP Schools JT Campus, Meem School Johar Town and School of Enablers.
Who conducts the on-campus check-ups?
Screenings are performed by licensed doctors, nurses and trained health workers from the Sehat Bunyad medical team. Students who need further evaluation are referred to partner pediatricians, and parents receive a written follow-up plan after each visit.
What do parents and teachers actually receive?
Parents receive a per-child health report after every screening, personalized nutrition and lunchbox guidance, and ongoing WhatsApp support from the coaching team. Teachers get a class-level dashboard highlighting attendance risk, focus issues and students who need extra follow-up.
How long does it take to launch at a new school?
Most schools launch within two to three weeks of signing a pilot. Onboarding includes activating the school health dashboard, scheduling the first on-campus screening camp, setting up the WhatsApp parent group and briefing teachers on the input forms.
