Community Health Event: Wellness Through Knowledge

The community health event, themed “Wellness Through Knowledge—Your Path to Healthy Living,” was conducted by School of Nursing students in connection with International Nurses’ Day. Students provided the public with practical information on healthy lifestyles, disease prevention, early recognition of health concerns, and appropriate use of health services. Interactive education supported participants to make informed choices while allowing students to apply nursing knowledge and develop communication, leadership, and teamwork skills. The programme promoted health and well-being, quality education, equitable access to health information, sustainable communities, and partnership with the public.

The event improved public awareness of healthy living and preventive care and made reliable health information more accessible. Participants were encouraged to identify personal health risks and adopt healthier behaviours. Nursing students strengthened their health-promotion, communication, teamwork, and community-engagement competencies. The programme also enhanced the School of Nursing’s visibility and relationship with the public.
