Almost all parents notice that the first years of their baby fly by very quickly and imperceptibly. Already at 1,5 years old, you can go to the garden, and at 6-7 years old, the child should go to school. In addition to pleasant memories, this time is quite restless for parents. One of the issues that needs to be resolved is the issuance of a medical certificate for a kindergarten or school. This document is a medical card, which contains all the data about the child’s health. In addition, the results of analyzes and examinations, as well as conclusions based on the results of examinations by specialized doctors, are supported there. In addition, the card should contain information about possible allergies and diseases that the child has had.
When is a certificate required?
Officially, this certificate is called a medical card form No. 026 / y-2000. Without it, parents will not be able to arrange a child in a kindergarten or school. The document is stored in the educational institution as long as the child is there. As in an adult medical record, information about vaccinations and past illnesses is stored there.
Procedure for registration
To get such a card, you need to pass a series of examinations. It is issued in the children’s clinic, to which the baby is attached. This procedure is free. If the parents decide to go to private clinics, then in this case they will have to pay for medical services. It is worth paying attention to whether such an organization has a license to issue a certificate.
In order to start issuing a certificate, you need to visit a pediatrician. After the initial examination, the doctor should refer the child to specialized specialists: a surgeon, dentist, ophthalmologist, psychiatrist, neurologist, ENT. If the card is issued for a girl, then she will need to be examined by a gynecologist, if a boy – by a urologist. In addition, issuing a card for the school requires a visit to a traumatologist, orthopedist.
In addition to the above doctors, the child must pass a standard set of tests: a blood test, urine test, a blood test for blood sugar levels, as well as a stool test for worm eggs, scraping for enterobiasis. To do this, the doctor must issue a referral. It is worth paying attention to the fact that the results of the analyzes are valid for only 3 months. If the parents with the child do not have time to go through all the specialists during this time, the tests will have to be retaken.
When registering a child in the first class, it is also necessary to conduct an ultrasound examination of the heart, thyroid gland, abdominal organs and the reproductive system, as well as electrocardiography.
For the examination, parents must have with them an identity document and a document that confirms that they are the parents of the baby. In addition, on the day of visiting a medical institution, they will need to write an application addressed to the head of the clinic. If the decision is made to issue a certificate at a state clinic, you should check the availability of a compulsory health insurance policy. It is also important to make sure that the child is attached to the chosen medical institution.
The whole procedure usually takes less than a month. Based on the results of the examination, the pediatrician draws up a medical card form 026 / y-2000, establishes a health group and a group for physical education. In addition, he must draw up a vaccination plan. Upon receiving this document, parents must check the presence of the signature of the head of the department and the seal of the clinic.
It is important to take this issue seriously and undergo a full examination.
