Children, parents, and teachers welcomed the program with enthusiasm, acknowledging its potential to enhance student well-being and academic performance.

The collaborative approach enhances health literacy, strengthens referral systems, and builds trust between communities and health service providers—making the interventions more impactful, equitable, and sustainable.
