« Heureux celui qui, comme Ulysse, a fait un beau voyage… »
Joachim du Bellay
- Happy he, who, like Ulysses, has traveled well.-
It's a fact: life is an unpredictable journey. Therefore I am -and always will be- planning and preparing to assure that my daughter gets a "smooth ride under a blue sky"… Thus happy she is, like Ulysses, and perfectly equipped as well for a "magnifique voyage" thanks to her Child Health Passport.
"To enhance your security and peace of mind", My Documents Inc created a Child Health Passport to document all of your little one's health history from birth to adolescence. Presented like a real traveling passport, its size makes it very easy to have at hand at all times, in your wallet or in your tot's tote for a trip to the daycare, and you won't believe how much information it can contain: picture, personal and insurance information, allergies, family health history, medications, vaccinations records, as well as developmental milestones to treasure (growth statistics, first smile, first word..)…and more!
Growing up in a country where each born child receives a health "notebook"
(Carnet de santé, it is) to keep for life and in which every exam, medication, etc is noted, I always believed that your health or child's health information doesn't belong in a doctor's secretary's drawer.
I am thankful and impressed by My Documents Inc team who, after consulting with health professionals, law enforcement officials and parents, conceived a smart, useful, and indispensable Child Health Passport that surpasses and responds to all expectations a parent might have.
For instance, it includes a "Consent to seek medical care" form, which, should your child need medical attention in your absence, could be crucial as we know every second counts in case of an emergency. This consent not only would allow your child to receive health care, but thanks to all the elements contained in his Health Passport, the doctors and nurses would have access to vital information: allergies, family health history, etc… It also features a page to affix your tot's fingerprints, that, accompanied with a recent picture, can be determinant in identifying a missing child, according to law enforcement officials.
