As part of the European Public Health Week (May 4–8), the School of Health Sciences at the University of Georgia carried out an important social and medical initiative. Representatives of the school, professors, and students visited the Day Center for Children and Adults with Physical and Intellectual Disabilities in Tserovani, which was established and continues to operate through the efforts of the University’s Norwegian friends, Toralf and Randi Hasvold.
During the visit, the center’s beneficiaries received free medical consultations and examinations. Professors from the University of Georgia, assisted by students, provided highly qualified medical services on-site in the following fields:
Alongside the medical examinations, the University’s students organized special art therapy activities for the beneficiaries, encouraging creative engagement and fostering a positive atmosphere among the members of the day center.
“This event was dedicated to this year’s main sub-theme of European Public Health Week – ‘Prioritizing Equity by Investing in Inclusive Healthcare.’ Its aim is to emphasize the importance of equal access to quality healthcare for every citizen and to support the strengthening of an inclusive environment within society,” said Mariam Lobjanidze.
The School of Health Sciences at the University of Georgia will continue to actively implement similar social projects in the future, providing students with valuable practical experience while offering essential support to the community.
