China's education and healthcare authorities have kicked off a campaign to inspect kindergartens, primary schools and high schools nationwide to see whether students have been given illegal medical treatment or unsafe food.

The inspection, which will run through April 10, was announced on Tuesday by the Ministry of Education and the National Health and Family Planning Commission. It comes in the wake of news that some kindergartens in Hubei, Shaanxi and Jilin provinces illegally administered prescription drugs to children.

The kindergartens were accused of giving children moroxydine, a drug that fights the flu virus, without informing their parents.
