University committee on Health, awareness and educational program held its last meeting before launching.
The King Khalid University Organizing Committee of Health, awareness and educational programs held the University's 3rd program in Tehammah Asir. The occasion was under the chairmanship of Deputy Supervisor, the Chairman of the Organizing Committee, and University Vice - President Prof. Marei Hussein Al-Qahtani. The meeting was the last for all the organization committees of the program, in order to make the final discussion and follow-up needed before launching on Sunday.
The program is an extension of several programs that have already been implemented by the university with the aim of serving the community. The Programs included visiting remote areas, with the aim of health and educational outreach to the people of those areas. The places visited were chosen according to field surveys that were carried out by the university to identify the needs of the target areas, which will definitely benefit from conducting such program. Prof. Marei explained that the program came after two previous programs provided by the University. The first was in Tihammah Qahtan (Farsha), and the second was in the governorate of Tathleeth.
The main committee sought to avoid obstacles that were encountered in previous programs. Prof. Mari further clarified that a unique location was chosen for the program; it connected all targeted areas in Tehammah, Asir. He said, "The program is a milestone which characterizes our university among the rest of the universities in the Kingdom" He added, "In the previous programs, participants' average of achievement has reached 80%. So we find it necessary to avoid drawbacks which were committed in the previous two seasons, plus working hard to guarantee the success of all the events of the program better than ever."
It is noteworthy that the Deanships of Community Service and Continuing Education, and Applied Medical Sciences have participated for the first time in this version of the program. Moreover, the participation of Admission and Registration Deanship was different as it was offering its services for both sexes, unlike in the previous programs.
