Brightstar-Care Specialist Hospital recently visited Holy Rosary International College, Owerri, for a comprehensive health awareness outreach aimed at promoting wellness and educating students on essential health topics. The outreach program focused on personal hygiene, puberty, eye care, and dental care. This initiative is part of Brightstar-Care's ongoing commitment to community health and youth education, providing valuable insights to help students make informed decisions about their health and well-being.
The outreach event took place at the school premises and saw enthusiastic participation from the students, staff, and the management team of Holy Rosary International College.

During the outreach, experts from Brightstar-Care Specialist Hospital engaged the students through interactive sessions and presentations. The discussions covered various topics, including:
Personal Hygiene: Students were taught the fundamentals of good hygiene practices, including the importance of regular handwashing, proper bathing, and grooming routines to prevent infections and maintain overall health.
Puberty and Adolescence: The team highlighted the physical and emotional changes that occur during puberty, providing guidance on how students can manage these changes with confidence and a positive mindset.
Eye Care: Ophthalmologists from Brightstar-Care educated the students on how to protect their eyes from digital strain, the importance of regular eye check-ups, and steps to maintain good vision.
Tooth Care: Dental specialists shared practical toothcare tips such as brushing techniques, the role of a balanced diet in oral health, and the importance of avoiding sugary snacks to prevent cavities and other dental issues.
The students were highly receptive, asking numerous questions and participating actively throughout the sessions. The interactive nature of the presentations helped to reinforce the health tips and ensured that the students left the program with a better understanding of how to care for themselves.
