Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>A ceremony to kick off activities to mark World Health Day 2023 was organised this morning at the JSS Academy of Higher Education and Research, Mauritius (JSSAHERM), in Vacoas. The first copy of the JSS Health and Education Newsletter was also issued on that occasion.<\/p>\n

The Minister of Health and Wellness, Dr Kailesh Kumar Singh Jagutpal; the Mayor of the Municipal Council of Vacoas-Phoenix, Praveen Kumar Ramburn; the Chief Executive Officer and Vice Chancellor of JSSAHERM, Professor (Dr) Praveen Mohadeb; and other personalities were present.<\/p>\n

In his address, Minister Jagutpal commended the School of Pharmacy of the JSSAHERM for taking the initiative of celebrating World Health Day at their institution.<\/p>\n

He indicated that the celebrations will span over three days and will comprise activities such as Yoga, Mindful Meditation, Zumba sessions, Online Continuous Professional Development under the theme \u201cLeadership in Pharmacy\u201d, and free checkups at La City, Trianon with various health checks on Non-Communicable Diseases.<\/p>\n

Dr Jagutpal observed that this year\u2019s theme for World Health Day, observed annually on 07 April, is \u2018Health for All\u2019. \u201cThis theme demonstrates that it is essential for everyone around the world to get access to information and health care services properly,\u201d he pointed out.<\/p>\n

In this regard, he indicated that the objective of the Government is to further strengthen Universal Health Coverage in the Republic of Mauritius. \u201cOur objective is to ensure that adequate health services are made available to the whole population across the whole span of life starting from pre-conception to old age,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The JSSAHERM, the Health Minister underscored, is an institution that showed through the organisation of World Health Day how committed it is to the health of the population.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is not only an institution that provides training in healthy subjects and pharmaceutical subjects, but also provides facilities and conducts information campaigns on how we can contribute to making the lives of people better,\u201d Dr Jagutpal remarked.<\/p>\n

On this score, the Health Minister reiterated his commitment to giving all the encouragement needed by the institution so as to ensure that the work being done is well supported.<\/p>\n

\u201cPharmaceutical sector is a constantly evolving one, and I believe that with the pharmacy programmes it is providing, the institution will deliver a much-needed supply of trained professional workforce, contributing to the \u2018Pharmaceutical Hub\u2019, which is one of the visions of our Government,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

As regards the health sector, Dr Jagutpal observed that there had been a considerable improvement in the healthcare sector, and the Government is doing its best to create a healthy nation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis, however, also needs the efforts of each and everyone to take care of their health, to practise physical exercises, to stay away from tobacco and to have a healthy diet, amongst others,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

For his part, the Vice Chancellor of the JSSAHERM recalled that the Academy was set up in 2006 and offered engineering programmes. \u201cIn 2018, we set up JSS Academy for Higher Education and Research with degree awarding powers approved and registered with the Higher Education Commission,\u201d he pointed out.<\/p>\n

Professor Mohadeb further highlighted that the JSSAHERM is evolving rapidly as a health-based post-secondary education institution in Mauritius and in the region, treading on the same path as its parent institution in India.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur vision is to be a world-class centre of excellence in the Indian Ocean so as to enhance the quality of life for the benefit of society in diverse nations through education, training, research and innovation,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
