On November 21, 2023, the School of Health Sciences (SHS) at the Modern University for Business and Science (MUBS) and the National Wellness Network (NWN) joined forces with Dialeb to organize a diabetes day at NWN Aley. The event aimed to improve the well-being of diabetic patients by providing them with essential health services and raising awareness about the disease. With a range of activities and expert consultations, the event aimed to inform participants about potential risks and encourage preventive measures.

The event featured various activities and sessions designed to address the specific needs of diabetic patients. Participants had the opportunity to undergo vision tests conducted by Ms. Dana Al Laham, a licensed optometrist. Nutritional dietary assessments and body composition analysis (BCA) tests were offered by Ms. Hitaf Makarem, a licensed dietitian. Additionally, Dr. Amir Madi and Ms. Croleen Chehayeb provided physiotherapy consultations. Practicum students were also actively involved in conducting nutrition tests and nurse assessments. On a final note, MUBS and NWN will always be committed to collaborating with health organizations to promote well-being and diabetes awareness within the community.

This event affirms MUBS’s commitment to UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being), SDG 4 (Quality Education), and SDG 17 (Partnerships to Achieve the Goals). For more about MUBS's efforts toward achieving UN SDGs, visit our page: www.mubs.edu.lb/sdg
