The Department of Community Health Technologies at the College of Medical and Health Technologies, Al-Mustaqbal University, organized a field-based health screening activity under the slogan “Healthy Weight and Optimal Blood Pressure: Your Gateway to Sustainable Health and a Better Life.” The activity targeted newly admitted students and their families, with the participation of Prof. Dr. Aqeel Handil Tarish Al-Judhary, Head of the Department, the department rapporteur, administrative and technical staff, and students.
The activity included measurements of weight and height, calculation of Body Mass Index (BMI), classification of weight categories and obesity levels, and blood pressure measurements. These procedures aimed to raise awareness of the importance of regular health monitoring and the early identification of risk factors associated with obesity and high blood pressure.
The activity witnessed broad student participation and will continue throughout the registration period, reflecting the department’s commitment to promoting health literacy and encouraging students and their families to adopt healthy lifestyles that contribute to better public health and quality of life.
