Makassar, June 18, 2025 — The Faculty of Public Health, Universitas Hasanuddin (FPH Unhas), continues to demonstrate its strong commitment to creating a healthy and sustainable campus environment. Through its dedicated Healthy Campus Working Group (Pokja Kampus Sehat), the faculty recently held a strategic meeting to finalize preparations for the 2025 Healthy Campus Program.
Held in the Prof. Nur Nasry Noor Room, 2nd Floor of the faculty building, the meeting brought together members of the Non-Communicable Disease (NCD) Post Service Team and the Healthy Campus Implementation Team. Key agenda items included the presentation of the activity plan, timeline development, role distribution, and strategies for engaging students and the wider academic community to ensure the program’s success.
The Healthy Campus Program serves as a concrete implementation of FPH Unhas’ commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being. More than that, it aspires to build a truly healthy, inclusive, and productive learning ecosystem within the campus.
Focus on Three SDG Pillars: Health, Education, and Environment
The 2025 Healthy Campus Program is designed to contribute directly to various aspects of sustainable development, with an emphasis on:
- SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being): Promoted through healthy lifestyle campaigns, early detection efforts, and control of NCD risk factors.
- SDG 4 (Quality Education): Realized by integrating health education into the curriculum, student training programs, and community engagement activities.
- SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities): Implemented through the creation of a safe, green, healthy, and inclusive campus environment for all.
The program adopts a holistic approach, addressing not only physical health, but also environmental sustainability, mental well-being, and social inclusion in campus development.
A key highlight of the meeting was the strategic role of student involvement as agents of change. Students will be empowered not only as participants but also as implementers and ambassadors of the healthy campus initiative—tasked with spreading health messages throughout the academic community and beyond.
The upcoming Healthy Campus activities will include health campaigns, student health cadre training, routine health screenings, revitalization of campus public spaces, and the strengthening of NCD service units and campus-based Posbindu (Integrated Health Post).
Through this meeting, the Healthy Campus Working Group reaffirmed its readiness to implement the program in a more structured, innovative, and sustainable manner. All initiatives and policies will be outcome-oriented and aimed at maximizing the well-being of the entire campus population.
With strong cross-unit collaboration and full support from FPH Unhas leadership, the 2025 Healthy Campus Program is expected to become a national model for establishing higher education institutions that are holistically healthy—physically, mentally, socially, and environmentally.
