Ministry: Kindergartens forbidden to give kids drugs without permission
(ECNS) -- A notification released Monday states that no organizations or individuals are allowed to administer drugs to children without permission, according to the official website of the Ministry of Education on Tuesday.
Jointly released by the Ministry of Education and the National Health and Family Planning Commission, the notification comes after recent revelations that several kindergartens had been feeding prescription antiviral drugs to healthy kids.
Authorities have been ordered to strengthen management of health services for children in kindergartens, primary schools and middle schools.
According to the notification, when schools and kindergartens give drugs to children to prevent common diseases, they should abide by five "musts":
1. They must get authorized therapeutic schedules made by medical experts at public hospitals above the county level.
2. Sanitation authorities above the county level must consult with education departments at the same level to reach an agreement and draw up detailed plans.
3. Children and parents must be informed and choose to take the drugs of their own volition.
4. There must be medical experts to offer on-the-spot guidance when students take medicines.
5. Drugs offered to students must be purchased from reliable sources with authorized certificates.
Education and health authorities have ordered the screening of schools nationwide to investigate whether there are still schools engaging in illegal activity.
The result of the investigation should be reported to the Ministry of Education and the National Health and Family Planning Commission before April 15.
兩部委：任何單位或個人不得擅自組織幼兒群體服藥
據教育部網站消息，教育部辦公廳、國家衛生計生委辦公廳17日就陜西、吉林兩地個別幼兒園違規開展群體性服藥事件發布通報。通報指出，任何單位或個人不得擅自組織幼兒群體服藥。
據報，陜西省西安市宋慶齡基金會楓韻幼兒園和鴻基祥園幼兒園、吉林省吉林市高新區芳林幼兒園違規給幼兒集體服用處方藥品“病毒靈”，通報指出，這些行為嚴重違反了《教育部辦公廳、衛生部辦公廳關于加強和規范學生健康服務工作管理的通知》的管理要求，造成嚴重的社會影響，有關部門正在依法依規進行查處。
為防止類似事件再次發生，維護兒童身體健康，教育部和衛計委明確以下要求：
一、嚴格規范幼兒及中小學生健康服務管理。各地教育、衛生計生行政部門及幼兒園、中小學校必須按照有關文件規定，嚴格管理幼兒及學生健康服務工作。因常見疾病防治需要而組織幼兒及中小學生群體服藥時，強化做到“五個”必須，即必須事先經醫療衛生專家論證，必須經縣級以上衛生計生行政部門商同級教育行政部門同意并制訂詳細的防治方案，必須堅持學生和家長知情同意、自愿參加的原則，必須有衛生技術人員進行現場指導，必須向證照俱全的正規醫藥生產、經營企業購買藥品。任何單位或個人不得擅自或越權組織幼兒及中小學生群體服藥。
二、立即組織力量開展幼兒園及中小學校健康服務管理的拉網式排查。教育、衛生計生行政部門要密切配合，對幼兒園及中小學校落實健康服務管理有關文件情況進行排查，重點檢查行政區域內幼兒園是否有違規組織幼兒群體服藥的行為，并于4月10日前完成全部排查工作。對反映和暴露的問題，要認真核實查處，強化責任追究，嚴肅處理責任人，并通報查處結果。
教育部和衛計委要求4月15日前將排查和查處情況分別報送教育部體衛藝司和國家衛生計生委婦幼司。
