successfully attracted many people come for support. Furthermore, they also put

There were also many
health talks that were given by lecturer from other university and one of our
sponsor (Blackmores). It was an enjoyable
event for the public that visited the event. The
Public Health Campaign itself has left an impact on the students which helped
them to prepare themselves for their future role as a health care professional.
It gave them the opportunity to have better interactions and communication with
the public and allows them to apply their knowledge beyond what they have
learnt in the classrooms. The campaign itself also served as a wonderful
platform that narrowed the gap between the students and also creating a
stronger bond between each others.

The campaign came to a
close with a photo-taking session that marked the end of this year’s Public
Health Campaign. The ever-enduring spirit by the students and the lecturers was
an amazing display of the teamwork shown by the School of Pharmacy which proved that the public always
remains our top priority as members of the healthcare team. On behalf of TUPSS Editorial Board would
like to congratulate the organizing committee of the Public Health Campaign,
all the students which ensured the success of this campaign that took months of
meticulous planning. We are looking forward for next year Public Health
Campaign.
