The School of Health Sciences (SHS) at the Modern University for Business and Science (MUBS) and the National Wellness Network (NWN) successfully conducted a health day at Phoenix International School on May 16, 2024, as part of the National Education Platform (NEP) initiative.

The Health Day aimed at promoting health awareness and primary prevention among students.
