Highlights
To address this gap, the Departments of Pediatric Medicine and Psycho-Social Care at TIH teamed with Shah Wilayat Public School (SWiPS) to form ‘Indus Kay Sitaray’ (IKS) – Pakistan’s first hospital schooling program
Graduates gain certification following final examination by SWiPS and a letter facilitating their admission into mainstream schools upon completion of medical treatment
Counselors have observed patients to appear less withdrawn during treatment and have a higher pain tolerance during invasive procedures like intravenous cannulation and intrathecal chemotherapy
Summary
IKS has completed two academic sessions with nearly 30 elementary school graduates.
