The university is dedicated to fostering a supportive environment that ensures the health and safety of its stakeholders, enabling them to thrive in both their professional and personal lives.
Doing our Part in Community Health Awareness & Prevention
The one thing that CoronaVirus Outbreak has taught us is the desperate need for community health awareness and prevention; that could make a huge difference in controlling the spread of Epidemic, Endemic and Pandemic diseases. In order to educate, aware & engage communities about common, prevalent diseases and mis-conception around the treatments & immunisation, Iqra University has made it essential for students to be trained and practice within basic community health interventions.

Free Immunisation Drives against Communal Diseases
Extending Government initiative to vaccinate all citizens of Pakistan against COVID-19. We have conducted a year-long immunisation drive open to students, their families and communities in the surrounding area. During the activity, we have also raised awareness about the importance of vaccination, community health and wellness, and general wellness information.
Caring for Differently Abled
We have organised numerous clinical and educational trips to DAR-UL-SUKUN to elaborate the importance of treating people with different abilities and identifying the necessary skills for clinical history taking of such persons. The students were also informed about different physical therapy treatments and regimens provided at the facility.
Say NO to Drugs
Being one of the youngest countries in the world with shrinking resources & widely prevailed undiagnosed stress & depression. Drug Abuse has become a major community health crisis in metropolitan cities of Pakistan predominantly affecting youth (between 13 – 20 years). With the collaboration of Maalik Welfare Organization (NGO), the University’s students have conducted a campaign to raise awareness and educate youth about the hazard of Drug Abuse. The students have distributed informational flyers and have a door to door conversation with local communities.
Its OKAY to be NOT OKAY
The idea behind initiating counselling facilities for students was to make mental health a priority for the upcoming generation. Not just that, but also to make quality mental health support accessible to all. Our mental health support programmes caters to a broad range of Student Mental Health concerns, Counselling and Therapies Service.
