“Your Heart Is a Trust” Campaign for Heart Health Screening and Awareness

As part of the activities of World Heart Week, Al-Nahrain College of Medicine – Al-Nahrain University has launched the “Your Heart Is a Trust” campaign, aimed at raising awareness of heart health, encouraging members of the university community to take care of their cardiovascular health, and promoting the early detection of cardiovascular risk factors.

The campaign includes free health screenings conducted at the College of Medicine, with the participation of fourth-year medical students and a number of graduate students. The screenings include blood pressure measurement, calculation of Body Mass Index (BMI), as well as a 10-year cardiovascular risk assessment in accordance with the adopted assessment guidelines.

The campaign will continue for one week, from September 22 to 27, 2026, providing students and College staff with an opportunity to benefit from the screenings and learn about modifiable cardiovascular risk factors, while emphasizing the importance of adopting a healthy lifestyle and taking preventive measures against cardiovascular diseases.

This initiative reflects Al-Nahrain College of Medicine’s commitment to promoting the concepts of prevention and health promotion, as well as engaging its students in health and community-based initiatives that contribute to translating medical knowledge into practical field-based activities with a direct impact.

Your heart is a trust… and prevention starts with a single step.
