NSTP students, faculty unite for ‘4 0’clock Habit Dengue Prevention’ clean-up drive

Hundreds of students of the National Service Training Program, together with their teachers, joined hands in a campus-wide cleanup activity under the ‘4 O'clock Habit Dengue Prevention’ campaign as a measure to curb the dengue incidence.

The volunteer-students were able to collect sacks of solid waste around the campus and destroyed the mosquito breeding sites on August 22, 2024.

Prior to the cleanup activity, the Medical and Dental Unit of the university conducted a lecture to raise awareness on how to fight against dengue and the things to do when infected.

“We would also like to emphasize the 5S plan, which includes search and destroy mosquito breeding areas, self-protection measures, early consultation, fogging to prevent epidemics, and hydration,” the Medical and Dental Unit wrote on their request letter regarding the conduct of the said activities.

“Active engagement and commitment to this habit will be critical in ensuring the health of our school community,” they added.
