Recently we had a successful workshop on "Healthy Schoolbag - Role of Healthcare Workers" organized by Piliyandala Clinical Society. Doctors from both clinical and public health sectors, Assistant Medical Officers, General Practitioners and several categories of field health care workers participated at this workshop to update their knowledge on newly introduced ergonomically designed healthy schoolbag.

The participants were explained the concept of ergonomics, its applications on school children, ergonomics of schoolbag, newly designed national healthy schoolbag and role of primary care health care workers.It is fundamental to disseminate information on latest developments in the healthcare field to major stake holders in the periphery. The above categories in the first contact level will have frequent encounters of ultimate beneficiaries of National Healthy Schoolbag Campaign -children and their parents.
