SDG 3 - GOOD HEALTH AND WELL-BEING

UNP is taking a hands-on approach to health, and well-being in the Ilocos region, weaving it into every aspect of University life. They’re not just teaching about health; they’re actively working to improve it in UNP, and Ilocos Sur community.

For one, the University has revamped its medical curriculum to focus on real-world health challenges. Students are getting out into the community, working in local hospitals, and tackling health issues. This practical approach is preparing future healthcare professionals who understand the complexities of public health.

UNP’s research isn’t gathering dust on shelves as they are being developed into tools to track health trends, and predict crises, which could be a game-changer for managing health risks in the region.

The University’s community programs are where the rubber really meets the road. From blood donation drives to mental health caravans, UNP is out there making a difference. They’re not just talking about universal health coverage; they’re actively working towards it.

What’s really impressive is how UNP brings different health disciplines together. Medical, nursing, and health science students work side by side, learning to collaborate, and produce meaningful changes.

UNP isn’t forgetting about mental health either. They’ve put programs in place to support students, and staff, recognizing that good health isn’t just physical. Furthermore, through partnerships with local organizations and international institutions, UN,P is expanding its reach and bringing global health practices to the local community.

UNP is stepping up as a local champion for health and well-being, tailoring its approach to the unique needs of the Ilocos region. UNP’s approach is down-to-earth, tailored to the region’s needs, and genuinely improving the health, and well-being of the community.
