Organize outreach campaigns on hepatitis and hypertension prevention.
Provide free blood pressure checks and hepatitis B screening
Develop a simple educational toolkit (flyers, infographics, and short videos) that can be shared widely by participants and partner organizations.
By the end of December 2025, the project aims to directly reach 200+ students and community members with accurate information and free screening, and indirectly impact thousands more through online content.
