One’s health, as many studies have shown, is best understood as a multifaceted outcome from different yet interdependent variables. In education, health-related barriers such as malnutrition, preventable diseases, and unhealthy behavior and environment, among many others, have persistently undermined academic performance and the education experience of learners across the country. Through the OK sa DepEd (OKD) Flagship Programs, the Department of Education (DepEd) has continuously strived to ensure the health and well-being of learners. These include the School Mental Health Program (SHMP), School-Based Feeding Program (SBFP), Medical, Dental, and Nursing Services (MDNS), National Drug Education Program (NDEP), Wash in Schools (WINS), and the Adolescent Reproductive Health Program (ARHP). These programs ensure that learners have access to basic health care services and are taught healthy behaviors to achieve better learning outcomes.
