Biomedical Sciences Department Leads Public Health Awareness Event at Family Mall

On Friday, 14 November 2025, the Department of Biomedical Sciences at Cihan University–Erbil organized a comprehensive community health awareness campaign at Family Mall in Erbil to observe World Diabetes Day. Assistant Lecturer Hero Ismael Mohammed and Ms. Nza Hameed Ali supervised the activity, and Biomedical Sciences students actively participated throughout the event.

During the campaign, the students offered free health screenings for mall visitors, including random blood glucose testing, blood pressure measurement, and blood group determination. These services helped individuals identify potential health risks and encouraged them to seek timely medical follow-up when needed.

The Department collaborated with Noor Laboratory, which provided free HbA1C testing, an essential indicator of long-term blood glucose control. In addition, the Diet Nutrition Center supported the event by offering free body composition analyses. Trained students and supervisors interpreted the test results on-site and offered medical advice and practical guidance on diabetes prevention, lifestyle modification, and healthy daily habits.

Another important part of the event involved contributions from Dr. Rand Beauty Center, Queen Art Beauty Clinic, and Givand Company. These partners offered complimentary facial analyses and provided discounts of up to 50% on various services, including skin and personal care treatments, for both Cihan University–Erbil students and members of the public who participated in the screenings.

The event ended successfully, and visitors expressed their appreciation for the university’s efforts in promoting community health. This initiative highlighted the important role of Biomedical Sciences students in raising public awareness and demonstrated the university’s ongoing commitment to preventive healthcare and community engagement.
