In line with its pioneering role in community service and promoting public health awareness, Jouf University, represented by the Colleges of Applied Medical Sciences in Qurayyat, Pharmacy, Nursing, and the Tadawi Student Club, launched a series of activities for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The initiative included 14 awareness programs and events targeting the university’s female staff and the local community across the region’s governorates, in support of quality of life and the Saudi Vision 2030 objectives in health, prevention, and social responsibility.

The College of Applied Medical Sciences in Qurayyat implemented a comprehensive awareness program on breast cancer at the Women and Children’s Center in Qurayyat, led by the Department of Nursing. The program featured educational lectures on the importance of early detection, prevention methods, and healthy lifestyle habits. It also included a medical awareness booth that offered free checkups and consultations to participants.

Additionally, the college organized another event titled “Prevention Methods and Steps for Early Breast Cancer Detection,” aimed at raising awareness among women and girls about the importance of self-examination and regular screening, and encouraging the adoption of a healthy lifestyle.

Meanwhile, the College of Nursing held an event titled “Together Against Breast Cancer” at Al Jouf Plaza Mall, where faculty members and students provided consultations and hands-on training on self-examination techniques, in addition to distributing awareness brochures and educational gifts. A similar event was also organized on campus under the same title, featuring an awareness exhibition, educational presentations, and student-led volunteer initiatives.

For its part, the College of Pharmacy, through the Tadawi Student Club, launched two awareness campaigns titled “Together We Raise the Pink Banner… Let’s Be More Aware.” These were held at the Second Secondary School and the Third Intermediate School for Girls in Dumat Al-Jandal, aiming to promote community awareness about early detection and prevention, and to highlight the role of nutrition and physical activity in reducing cancer risks.
