Message of the Vice Chancellor
Dear Students.
As part of our commitment to promoting health education, University of Health Sciences (UHS) is dedicated to empowering young girls with knowledge on reproductive health. We believe education is key to making informed decisions about one's health.
Importance of Pre-Puberty Education
Pre-puberty education is crucial for girls' physical, emotional and psychological well-being. It equips them with essential knowledge to navigate adolescence confidently. Our initiative focuses on:
- Demystifying myths: Clarifying misconceptions surrounding menstruation and reproductive health.
- Building confidence: Encouraging open discussions and promoting self-esteem.
- Protection of identity and personal information: Always trust your family/guardian
- Healthy habits: Educating on nutrition, hygiene and exercise.
- Early detection and prevention: Identifying potential health issues before they become severe.
Girls' Reproductive Health
UHS recognizes the significance of addressing girls' reproductive health. Our program covers:
- Menstrual health management: Providing guidance on hygiene, sanitation and pain management.
- Puberty and adolescence: Explaining physical and emotional changes.
- Reproductive rights and responsibilities: Promoting awareness and empowerment.
- Sexual and reproductive health: Educating on consent, safety and healthy relationships.
