In this recent incident at the Kasturba Residential School, symptoms like stomach ache and vomiting among the students indicate a possible hygiene or food safety lapse.

Dr. Anjali Singh: In cases of food poisoning, healthcare professionals first stabilize the patients, addressing symptoms like dehydration and severe discomfort. The focus then shifts to investigating the cause, which typically involves collecting food samples and doing laboratory tests. Throughout their treatment, healthcare providers monitor vitals and overall health, keeping the affected individuals under observation until they are deemed safe for discharge.
Time.news Editor: The Vice Principal mentioned that the students’ condition is currently out of danger. what protocols should be in place to prevent such incidents in the future?
Dr. anjali Singh: Prevention is key. Schools should have robust food safety protocols, including regular training for kitchen staff on hygienic food readiness and storage practices. Regular audits of the food served and close monitoring of the health of students can also serve as preventive measures. Furthermore, creating awareness amongst students about safe eating practices can empower them to identify food quality issues and voice their concerns.
Time.news Editor: What role do parents and communities play in ensuring food safety in schools?
Dr. Anjali Singh: Parents and communities are vital to enforcing food safety. They should actively participate in school meetings to discuss nutrition policies and safety protocols. Regular communication between parents and school management allows for shared duty and accountability for the health and well-being of children.Community awareness initiatives can also play a meaningful role in fostering safe food practices.

Dr. Anjali Singh: My advice would be as follows:
- Implement Thorough Food Safety Training: Regular training sessions for all kitchen staff on hygiene and food safety can help instill best practices.
- Regular Health Check-ups: Schools should conduct periodic health assessments of the food served and the kitchen environment.
- Promote Transparency: Maintain open communication with parents regarding the sourcing of food and any health incidents.
- Emergency Preparedness: Establish clear protocols for dealing with food-related illnesses and improve access to medical facilities for immediate response.
By prioritizing these actions, schools can create a safer environment for their students, thereby minimizing the risk of foodborne illnesses.
