As part of promoting health awareness and spreading preventive culture among students and the community, the Department of Biochemistry organized an awareness campaign entitled “Diabetes Prevention is a Shared Responsibility.” The campaign was supervised by Lecturer Asst. Lect. Haider Mutlak Mousa and included the participation of several faculty members and students of the department. The campaign aimed to introduce diabetes as one of the most widespread chronic diseases worldwide, highlighting its causes and associated risk factors, as well as raising awareness about the importance of early screening and its role in reducing disease complications. The campaign also focused on promoting healthy lifestyle behaviors that help prevent diabetes, such as following a balanced diet, reducing sugar and fat intake, engaging in regular physical activity, and maintaining a healthy body weight. The campaign included the presentation of educational posters, awareness images, and simplified scientific materials explaining how diabetes develops in the body, its early symptoms, and ways to live with the disease. In addition, guidance was provided on the importance of periodic blood glucose testing, especially for individuals at higher risk, such as those with a family history of diabetes or those suffering from obesity and physical inactivity. During the event, the campaign supervisor, Asst. Lect. Haider Mutlak Mousa, delivered a speech emphasizing that health awareness represents a fundamental step in preventing chronic diseases. He stressed that the role of academic institutions goes beyond education to include community service and the dissemination of health culture among its members. He also noted that such activities contribute to building a health-conscious generation capable of protecting itself and its community from diseases. The campaign witnessed notable interaction from students and attendees, with many questions raised regarding prevention methods and appropriate nutrition for diabetic patients. These questions were answered by the supervising staff in a clear and scientifically simplified manner. At the conclusion of the event, the organizers affirmed their commitment to continuing such awareness campaigns in the future due to their positive impact on raising health awareness within the university and the wider community.
