It is the time of year when we need to start the medical screening process for ALL returning students. Completed screening forms will need to be sent to the Health Clinic by June 30th 2017. This is a requirement for all students returning in the 2017-2018 school year. Please read the information below to learn more about the process.
We have modified the screening process so there is a basic medical screen for most students with a more extensive screen for students entering Grades 3, 6, 9 and 11, which includes a tuberculosis screen. Any student who has had a new student medical examination after January 2017 will not need a repeat examination. All students must fill in the Nurse Medication Consent form and tuberculosis symptom screening form.
Forms are available for download from the ISB website. ISB Health Services Forms and Resources
Any student with Diabetes, Asthma or Anaphylaxis will also need an action plan filled out by the doctor. Theses Action Plans are available for download from the ISB website. ISB Health Services Forms and Resources
ALL FORMS MUST BE SUBMITTED TO THE HEALTH CLINIC BY JUNE 30 2017 either in person or via email nurse@isb.ac.th
The medicals can be done by any registered medical practitioner either in Thailand or your home country. Many health insurance companies will cover annual medical screening for children.
The medicals examinations for students entering K and grades 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10 and 12 can now be done at the Bumrungrad Nichada Clinic (with referral to the hospital if there are any issues). They will also have an ECG machine at the Bumrungrad Nichada Clinic from May 8-20 so students entering grade 11 may have their medical done there between those dates. They can also be done at World Medical Center or Samitivej Hospital. All students entering grades 3, 6, 9 and 11 (if medical not done at Bumrungrad Nichada Clinic May 8-20) will need to attend Bumrungrad Hospital, World Medical Center, Samitivej Hospital or any other hospital/doctors surgery with appropriate facilities. Please note that World Medical Center only have audiology services Tuesday 9am-5pm, Wednesday 5pm-8pm and Saturday 9am-5pm.
Packages have been negotiated for Bumrungrad and World Medical Center as outlined below. Please make your child’s booking for the “ISB Student Physical Examination” and take the forms for the doctor to fill out (as required). Please note there may be an additional payment required for equipment and if there are additional medical reviews or tests are required due to abnormalities found during the examination.
Tuberculosis (TB) Screen additional costs (discuss with your doctor the appropriate screening test)
