UKM Soars in Healthy University Rating System (HURS)

UKM achieved a remarkable 5+ star rating (an improvement over the previous 5 stars in 2022) in the 2023 Healthy University Rating System (HURS) organized by the Asean University Network (AUN). This outstanding accomplishment reflects UKM’s commitment to promoting health and well-being across the university community.

This achievement stems from UKM’s intensified health promotion initiatives, including : Expanded staff participation in health check-ups, integration of health-promoting elements into curriculum and co-curricular activities, focus on health-related research, enhanced control and awareness programs for alcohol, drug abuse, and gambling prevention and initiatives to improve knowledge and health culture among staff and students.

In recognition of UKM’s excellence, we were invited to share our best practices in health promotion management at a seminar titled “Managing Health Promoting University to Improve Healthy Lifestyle after the Pandemic” hosted by Universitas Gadjah Mada, Indonesia, representing the AUN-HPN (Asean University Network – Health Promotion Network). Assoc Prof. Dr. Fairus Mohd Yusoff, from the UKM Strategy Center and Director of the University Health Center, will represent UKM at the event on May 17, 2024.
