During these events, students and faculty members collaborate to organize educational sessions that address the latest developments in cancer and HIV/AIDS research, prevention, and treatment. These sessions not only provide crucial information but also foster a deeper understanding of these significant health issues among participants.

The seminars and workshops are complemented by outreach programs that see students stepping out of the classroom to directly engage with the local community. These outreach efforts often involve distributing informative pamphlets, conducting free health screenings, and offering counseling services to those affected by cancer and HIV/AIDS.

“Our goal is to make a positive impact on our community by fostering knowledge and understanding about these critical health issues,” said a spokesperson for Skyline University Nigeria. “Through these initiatives, we aim to contribute to the well-being of our community, ensuring that more people are informed and empowered to take proactive steps towards their health.”
