The Pharma Club of MBU successfully organized a seminar on hypertension on 19 May 2025 from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM in the Pharmacy Block. The session aimed to educate students on the causes, complications, and management of hypertension, a condition characterized by persistently elevated blood pressure. The seminar provided an opportunity for students to engage in an interactive learning experience through discussions, practical demonstrations, and a quiz.
The event was coordinated by faculty coordinator Dr. V. Hemalatha, the club coordinator. Nearly 30 students from first-year Pharm D and B Pharm participated in this seminar. The seminar began with an informative session covering essential aspects of hypertension. Students learned about its common occurrence as a complication of various health conditions, including diabetes, chronic kidney disease, thyroid disorders, and cardiovascular diseases. They were introduced to the latest guidelines on hypertension, treatment strategies, and the importance of lifestyle modifications such as diet, physical activity, and stress management.
To encourage active participation and deepen understanding, a quiz on hypertension was conducted. This activity helped students test their knowledge and reinforce key concepts related to the condition. Additionally, students were given a hands-on experience in blood pressure measurement using sphygmomanometers. This practical demonstration emphasized self-awareness and the importance of regular blood pressure monitoring.
The hypertension awareness seminar was a valuable learning experience for the students, equipping them with vital knowledge about a prevalent health condition. Through interactive discussions, quizzes, and practical demonstrations, participants gained insights into hypertension management and the significance of lifestyle modifications. The session successfully fostered awareness, encouraging students to take an active role in preventive healthcare.
The event was an inspiring and engaging session for students. The event organizers sincerely expressed their gratitude to all the participants for their invaluable support and contributions in making the event a remarkable success.
