“Building on Merrit University’s commitment to its awareness and community role, and in furtherance of its efforts to promote health culture among students, the university organized – under the supervision of the university and faculty administration and with the participation of the MED PULSE family – an awareness event titled ‘Choose a Better Life by Quitting Smoking.’ The event aimed to raise awareness about the dangers of smoking, educate students on the importance of quitting, and encourage them to adopt a healthy lifestyle.

The event included an awareness lecture delivered by Prof. Dr. Ahmed Fawzy, Consultant of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Mental Health, in which he addressed the physical and psychological harms caused by smoking, as well as the health and mental benefits achieved by quitting. He emphasized that the decision to quit smoking represents a real beginning toward a healthier and better-quality life.

The event was held under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Abeer Shouman, Head of the Community Affairs and Environmental Development Committee, and Dr. Dina Mounir, the symposium coordinator.”
