Activity Reports
Jordan Pharmaceutical Students’ Association
We hope that pharmacy students would help in reducing the high incidence of diabetes in Jordan through the upcoming years, for this year we talked to many adolescents as well as elders about this disease and its risk factors, we distributed about 2000 booklets designed by our students including most of the information needed plus some posters, so we hope that we offered the appropriate kind of information to helping them fight this disease. We also made a blood glucose testing in Al-Hussien Gardens.
Since the message of World Health Day in 2008 was linked to the health issues emerged from the climate change phenomenon, the World Health Day campaign for HMF ‘Ars Praeparandi’ ITB this year was carried out in a joint event called ‘Dago Walking Day 2008’. This event was meant to be a celebration of world’s earth day that originally happened on April 22, for Bandung citizens. Republic of Entertainment, the main event organizer of the event, tried to make every element of the Bandung society take part in the event. This resulted in the huge amount of media, NGOs and student organizations, supported this event, including HMF ‘Ars Praeparandi’ ITB, that covered the event from the health issue link to the climate change.
Forum for Pharmacy- Nepal
The materials provided by IPSF were very helpful. We used them around our university premises.In the rally we displayed various posters and placards containing the general information about the life long disease.
For the locals we prepared educational leaflets on diabetes in Nepali for better understanding. We distributed leaflets to those infected as well as to those who seemed interested to know more about diabetes. The leaflets contained a brief introduction about the disease, its signs/ symptoms, management, treatment and risk factors. This year we did house to house counselling on the disease as well which proved to be very effective.

In Doha we will have a conference called: Childhood Diabetes and Obesity in the period from 10-12th October 2008 and it is an international conference as a preperation for the World Diabetes Day. That conference is organized by the Qatari Diabetes Association. Some students of our college are participating as volunteers in this conference. As I said, this conference is a preparatory step for the international diabetes day and it will be a good experience for our students, because in Qatar we have a large prevalence of diabetes –about 15% of the populations are diabetic. This percentage is increasing and mainly it is increasing among children. For that reason we are trying to encourage the society to follow a healthier lifestyle to help in both management and prevention of diabetes.
