Faculty collaborative community

The Islamic University of Lebanon (IUL) is committed to a robust collaboration with various Lebanese professional organizations to enhance the quality and reach of healthcare education and services. This partnership aims to meet the labor market’s growing demands by increasing the number of graduates while striving for excellence in healthcare practice, education, management, and research. These efforts are focused on improving the well-being of individuals and the broader Lebanese society, addressing the annual need for an 8% increase in healthcare workers.

To meet this growing demand, IUL actively engages with high schools by conducting visits and hosting exhibitions, encouraging students to pursue studies in the Faculty of Public Health.

IUL has also established formal agreements with hospitals across different regions, incentivizing professionally qualified employees to further their education and obtain university degrees (B.S.). These initiatives provide practical support, material resources, and substantial financial discounts of up to 50%.

Moreover, the Faculty of Public Health organizes various health-related activities, including the annual Health Day on May 12th, coinciding with International Nursing Day. During this event, free health services are provided to aid in the early detection of chronic conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and thalassemia. These services include complimentary health examinations, and health awareness is promoted through lectures and publications.

Additionally, IUL has joined forces with the Red Cross and the NGO Donner Sang Compter (DSC) to conduct blood donation campaigns. This collaboration highlights the university’s dedication to community service and public health. Through these campaigns, IUL not only helps save lives but also promotes awareness about the significance of blood donation among students and the wider community.

In terms of events for our nursing department at the public health faculty, we attempt to keep students engaged and motivated by organizing a variety of activities.  On May 15, 2024, our Tyr branch students, in partnership with the nursing coordinators at Tyr, arranged a nursing day celebration that included teaching on various medical issues, activities, and nursing services for all students.

Furthermore, on May 20, 2024, Mr. Rabih al Albdallahon delivered a high-performance and

expert-level first aid training session to BS2 nursing students in Tyr branch.

We also visited the nurses’ orders on Thursday, April 4, 2024, with a group of students from all branches. Our visit aimed to learn more about the nurse’s order, particularly the importance of affiliation and registration, registration procedures, internal regulations, and services provided.

Additionally, the Faculty of Public Health has entered into numerous collaborative agreements with local and national healthcare and educational institutions. These partnerships facilitate various aspects of scientific research and practical cooperation, providing essential training centers for IUL students.
