UNAIR NEWS 鈥 To cultivate a healthier and more productive young generation, the Airlangga Health Promotion Centre (AHPC) 东京热 () has once again hosted its Happy & Healthy Lifestyle (H2L) initiative, a free health screening program for students. The event underscores UNAIR鈥檚 commitment to advancing the United Nations鈥 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-being) and Goal 4 (Quality Education).
The event took place at the Airlangga Medical Education Centre (AMEC) on Campus A, UNAIR, on Wednesday, October 22, 2025, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The Campus A session was one of five H2L programs scheduled for 2025. Previous events were held at Campus B (Aseec), Campus C (ACC), the Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery (FIKKIA) Campus in Mojo, as well as UNAIR鈥檚 Gresik and Lamongan campuses.
Enthusiasm and participation
This year鈥檚 H2L series drew around 1,400 student participants across all locations. At Campus A, 37 students donated blood, while 74 underwent general health screenings. The initiative was open to all UNAIR students.
The 2025 H2L program was a collaborative effort between AHPC UNAIR, the Surabaya City Health Office through Puskesmas Pucang Sewu, and the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI), with strong support from UNAIR鈥檚 Sustainable Community Service Institute (LPMB) and the Faculty of Medicine. This cross-sector partnership enabled students to access comprehensive, professional, and free healthcare services without needing to visit hospitals or clinics.
The program provided a range of health checks, including blood glucose, blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference measurements for early detection of non-communicable diseases. Mental health assessments were also offered, acknowledging the significant academic pressures that can impact students鈥 psychological well-being.
Impact and growth of program
In her remarks, AHPC Head Dr. Sri Widati, S.Sos., M.Si., emphasized that H2L plays a vital role in raising awareness about preventive healthcare among students.
鈥淲e want students to be more proactive in understanding their health early on. In line with President Prabowo鈥檚 mission, every Indonesian should have access to free health check-ups. The earlier one identifies potential health issues, the easier they are to manage before they become serious,鈥 said Dr. Widati.
She added that H2L goes beyond health screenings. It serves as an educational platform that teaches students the importance of balance, stress management, and self-care as essential elements of academic and professional success.
Echoing her remarks, Prof. Hery Purnobasuki, M.Si., Ph.D., Head of UNAIR鈥檚 Sustainable Community Service Institute, praised AHPC鈥檚 consistency in running programs that benefit both the university community and society at large.
鈥淭he H2L program not only supports student wellness but also strengthens UNAIR鈥檚 contribution to building a healthy and empowered society. We hope this initiative continues to grow and becomes a model for sustainable community engagement in line with the SDGs,鈥 said Prof. Purnobasuki.
Continued institutional support
Representatives from the Faculty of Medicine also expressed strong support for the event, noting their pride in hosting a program that reflects the principles of public health and preventive education.
The H2L initiative has continued to show positive growth over the years. Last year, it reached about 3,000 participants from various campuses. Although this year鈥檚 implementation was organized regionally, student enthusiasm remained high, with active participation from multiple UNAIR locations.
Through the Happy & Healthy Lifestyle (H2L) program, AHPC UNAIR hopes to inspire lasting health awareness among students鈥攅ncouraging them to adopt wellness as part of their daily routine. After all, true academic success can only be achieved by individuals who are healthy both physically and mentally.
