School health · Guidelines
The ABHM school health guidance, in practical terms
The Ayushman Bharat Health Mission establishes a digital health profile for every citizen. Its school health care programme guidelines, and the mandatory health care provider guidelines that accompany them, set what a school programme must include.
What the guidance requires
And how RISE and EPIC map onto it
| Requirement area | How the programme meets it |
|---|---|
| A digital health identity for every beneficiary | ABHA number generated or linked at registration, for students and staff alike. |
| An emergency health record accessible at the point of need | Emergency Health Profile issued on an NFC and QR card, readable without our software. |
| Clinical screening by qualified providers | Paediatrician or general physician 4Ds screening under RISE; dental, ophthalmology and ENT added under EPIC. |
| Laboratory investigation | Blood grouping and complete blood picture under RISE; thyroid and lipid profiles added under EPIC. |
| Referral for identified conditions | Structured referral into connected laboratories, pharmacies and hospitals, tracked to closure. |
| Reporting | Annual disease statistical report to the school, and de-identified aggregation upward. |
Provider obligations
The mandatory guidelines, summarised
The health care provider guidelines that accompany the school health programme set expectations on qualification, on record-keeping and on the handling of identifiable data. Our position on each is set out in full on the compliance page, including the items we have not yet closed.
Read the source
Schools reviewing a proposal should read the government guidance directly rather than relying on any provider's summary of it, including ours. We supply the references in the proposal pack.
