The exhibition was designed and organized entirely by nursing and midwifery students under the supervision of Dr. Iman Shawish, Head of the Department of Midwifery, Women’s Health, and Pediatric Nursing, who coordinated the event. The initiative aimed to strengthen students’ practical skills, leadership, and ability to translate academic learning into meaningful community engagement.

The opening, held at the Faculty of Medicine building on the New Campus, was attended by Dr. Dr. Aida Alkaissi, Dean of the Faculty, Mr. Iyad Al-Aqra, Director of Student Affairs, Dr. Iman Shawish, faculty members, and students.

The exhibition addressed a range of common gynecological and reproductive health issues, linking them with the latest scientific research in diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. It was integrated into the third-year curriculum for nursing and midwifery students. Key topics included early detection and prevention of cervical, breast, and ovarian cancer; polycystic ovary syndrome; endometriosis; sexual health; and gender-based violence.

Dr. Shawish emphasized that the exhibition aims to build student leadership capacities, encourage peer-to-peer and community health education, and provide a platform for knowledge exchange. She noted that the initiative aligns closely with the SDGs by promoting women’s health, raising awareness of sexual and reproductive health issues, and fostering early prevention strategies. She also praised the strong support from the University administration, the Deanship of Student Affairs, and the Faculty of Nursing, as well as the outstanding efforts of the students in delivering a high-quality and impactful exhibition.

Mr. Al-Aqra underlined the importance of scientific activities that connect academic coursework with real-world research and global medical developments. He affirmed the Deanship’s commitment to supporting student initiatives—particularly those with scientific and practical value—that empower students, enhance their capabilities, and strengthen their role as active contributors to society.

Student Ahmad Issa explained that a group of students from Class 122, under the supervision of Dr. Shawish, studied and presented a series of women’s reproductive health conditions with the goal of raising public awareness and fostering health literacy. He noted that the team delivered the information in a simplified, engaging, and accessible way, drawing on credible scientific sources, and covering causes, symptoms, prevention, and treatment methods—driven by the belief that health knowledge is a right for all and a foundation for healthy living.
