The campaign aimed to raise awareness about the importance of preventive healthcare and healthy lifestyle habits. It included the distribution of educational materials on <strong>balanced nutrition, physical activity, and stress prevention<\/strong>, in addition to providing <strong>free health screenings<\/strong>, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Blood pressure measurement<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Blood glucose measurement<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Body weight, height, and Body Mass Index (BMI) assessment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These services were offered to students, faculty, and administrative employees, encouraging early detection and proactive health monitoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The event also featured <strong>interactive health quizzes<\/strong> and student-led activities promoting appreciation for the nursing profession. Participants wrote <strong>thank-you messages and tribute notes<\/strong> recognizing the crucial role nurses play in healthcare systems and society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of the humanitarian dimension of the celebration, a group of nursing students, accompanied by supervising faculty members, visited a <strong>local elderly care center<\/strong>. The visit included <strong>memory stimulation activities, recreational engagement, and supportive conversations<\/strong>, highlighting the emotional, social, and therapeutic value of nursing care for the elderly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, representatives from the Department of Nursing participated in a <strong>regional scientific forum on the future of nursing education<\/strong>, which focused on enhancing competency-based learning and integrating technological advancements\u2014particularly <strong>digital healthcare training and artificial intelligence applications<\/strong>\u2014into clinical education. This reflects the department\u2019s ongoing efforts to <strong>align its academic curriculum with modern healthcare advancements<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery
