Manila, Philippines – In a significant move to promote health and well-being, Universidad De Manila (UDM), in collaboration with the Manila City Health Department, continues to offer a wide range of sexual and reproductive health-care services to its students. These efforts are closely aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3), “Good Health and Well-being,” ensuring that UDM students have access to essential health services and education to safeguard their well-being.
At the start of each academic year, UDM reinforces its commitment to student health by reminding the student body of the sexual and reproductive health services available to them. These services include access to crucial information and education about sexual health, HIV and STD screenings, and regular health counseling provided by the university’s health unit and guidance counseling office. The services are designed to empower students to make informed decisions about their sexual and reproductive health.
In addition to screenings, UDM places a strong emphasis on the importance of mental and emotional well-being. The university’s counseling services are accessible to all students, offering a confidential environment for discussing health-related concerns. By providing these comprehensive services, UDM fosters a holistic approach to student health, recognizing that well-being encompasses physical, mental, and sexual health.
Protecting Privacy and Promoting Health
One of UDM’s key priorities in offering these services is maintaining the privacy and confidentiality of students, faculty, and administrative staff. The university ensures that health records are kept confidential, allowing students to access the health care they need without fear of stigma or privacy breaches. This practice is fundamental to promoting a safe and supportive environment where students can prioritize their health without compromise.
By providing these services, UDM supports SDG 3‘s focus on ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all ages. The university’s proactive stance on sexual and reproductive health not only contributes to the well-being of its students but also serves as a model for how educational institutions can play a vital role in addressing public health challenges.
UDM’s Ongoing Commitment to Student Health
Through its partnerships and health initiatives, UDM continues to prioritize student health as part of its broader mission to promote good health and well-being. As the university expands its services and educational outreach, it remains committed to ensuring that all students have access to the health care and information they need to lead healthy lives.
With regular health screenings, educational campaigns, and counseling services, UDM is helping shape a healthier future for its students while supporting the global goal of achieving health and well-being for all.
