Under the guidance of their lecturers, these students eagerly volunteered their skills and time to perform critical health assessments for the aging population at the care home. The tests were designed to monitor vital health indicators and provide insights into the residents’ well-being.

This initiative not only demonstrated the students’ dedication to their field of study but also showcased their commitment to making a positive impact in the community. By offering their services pro bono, they contributed to the welfare and healthcare of those who may have limited access to such services.

The elderly residents expressed gratitude for the students’ efforts, highlighting the importance of such community outreach programs. This event reflects the university’s ongoing mission to instill a sense of social responsibility in its students, encouraging them to actively engage in initiatives that benefit society.
