We have a very
vibrant education outreach committee which from year to
year highlights various aspects of health care as it strives
to encourage the University community into a state of
wellness. This Health Education Committee organizes outreach
activities across the campus including specific hall of
residence activities. The committee also participates
in a number of outreach activities, providing screening
services (e.g. blood pressure, breast and prostate cancers,
and body mass index - BMI). The Committee works in collaboration
with agencies within the UWI (e.g. The University of the
West Indies HIV/AIDS Response programme - UWI HARP), and
externally (e.g. Jamaica Cancer Society) to increase awareness
among the UWI population of specific diseases and their
risk factors. In addition, special health education services
are provided through the Committee. |
