Caregivers are active members of the healthcare team, and the uniqueness of
their role in caring for a sick child is holistic, as no other healthcare team member is
consistently aware of all the facets of the child’s life. The integrated school health programme
(ISHP) aims to improve access to healthcare services and promote equity for school-going
children by delivering comprehensive healthcare services. However, not much attention
has been paid to understanding caregivers’ health-seeking experiences within the context
of the ISHP.
