Centurion University’s Commitment to SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being
Centurion University is deeply committed to promoting good health and well-being within society through a holistic approach that encompasses community involvement, academic initiatives, research, and health innovations. By integrating these key elements, the University strives to address health challenges and enhance the quality of life for individuals and communities.
Community Engagement: Addressing Health Challenges
At Centurion University, we recognize that active community involvement is essential for effectively addressing health challenges. Our outreach programs focus on providing critical healthcare services to underserved populations. In 2023, we organized free health check-up and vision screening camps, benefiting over 12,000 individuals in and around Odisha. Additionally, we offer nutritional support in our adopted villages, ensuring that local communities receive the essential health services they need.
Academic Initiatives: Enhancing Healthcare Delivery
Centurion University operates a Community Diagnostic Center, which provides low-cost or free healthcare services to community members. This initiative allows our students to gain valuable hands-on experience while serving the community. The University also conducts workshops and seminars on disease prevention, vaccination, and healthy lifestyle choices, further empowering communities with knowledge that supports overall health. Our training programs in sustainable agriculture complement these health initiatives, emphasizing the connection between nutrition, health, and well-being.
Research for Health Solutions: Understanding Local Health Challenges
Our research efforts are focused on identifying and addressing health issues that impact our surrounding areas. By conducting collaborative research, we aim to deepen our understanding of local health challenges and develop practical, implementable solutions that can improve health outcomes for community members. This research not only contributes to the academic field but also informs our community engagement strategies.
Entrepreneurship: Fostering Healthcare Innovation
Centurion University encourages innovation in healthcare by supporting students and faculty in entrepreneurial ventures that tackle health challenges. Our School of Paramedics and Allied Health Sciences (SoPAHS) is dedicated to establishing diagnostic facilities in rural communities, enhancing healthcare accessibility and fostering innovation. The school also focuses on upskilling students to engage effectively with their communities and provide essential health services.
Social Impact: Empowering Healthy Choices
Through various outreach initiatives and health awareness campaigns, Centurion University empowers individuals to make informed health decisions. Our regular health camps and community engagement activities contribute to improved health outcomes and reinforce our commitment to SDG 3. By fostering a culture of health awareness, we aim to promote well-being and enhance the quality of life for all community members.
