As part of the social activities organized by Al-Ma’rifa Colleges of Science and Technology, through which they are keen to build bridges of communication with society with the aim of raising awareness and health culture, Al-Ma’rifa Colleges, represented by the Department of Student Affairs, organized a health awareness event on the occasion of World Diabetes Day, under the slogan “Know Your Sugar.”
The event was held at Sahara Mall in Riyadh over two days, 1-2 December 2016.
The event included stations for medical examinations, starting with measuring height and weight, and checking the level of sugar and blood pressure, and ending with a medical consultation by the participating students, in addition to distributing health awareness leaflets and symbolic gifts to the visitors of the mall who underwent the examination.
This event received a great response from the complex’s visitors, as they extended their sincere thanks to the college students for this pioneering initiative and voluntary health services that address the need of a large segment of society for awareness about diabetes and ways to prevent it.
