NHSO Board Approves Plan to Develop Nationwide Student Mental Health Care System, Linking Schools with Hospitals
Published
The National Health Security Office (NHSO) Board has approved the principles for developing a mental health care system for students across all affiliations nationwide. The goal is to connect schools with the public health system so that students receive systematic psychological support.
Under this approach, schools will be responsible for screening students with mental health problems and providing initial counseling. When a student is found to need further care, the school will refer the student to the relevant hospital, where physicians and mental health professionals will assess and continue treatment.
This linkage aims to ensure students receive continuous care, from screening through treatment. Experts believe that detecting problems at an early stage will make them easier to address and help reduce the potential impact on students' studies and daily lives.
However, operational details such as implementation procedures, budget, and the timeline for actual launch have not yet been announced in this news report. Those interested can follow further updates from the NHSO and the Ministry of Public Health.
