This includes regular health assessments, screenings, vaccinations, and lifestyle modifications such as healthy eating, regular exercise, and avoiding tobacco and excessive alcohol consumption. Health assessments involve thorough evaluations of an individual’s medical history, risk factors, vital signs, and screening tests to identify any potential health issues early on and develop personalized strategies for disease prevention and health promotion.
Overseas Students & Refugee Health
Overseas students and refugee health involves addressing the unique healthcare needs and challenges faced by these populations, including access to healthcare services, cultural and language barriers, mental health support, and addressing past trauma and refugee experiences. Providing culturally sensitive care, comprehensive health screenings, access to interpreters, and trauma-informed services are essential to promoting the well-being and integration of overseas students and refugees into their new communities.
