PROJECT SUMMARY

Daily health care is very essential; however, many people have very limited basic knowledge and skills to take care of themselves and their families. Besides, some people seek health care information through unofficial information channels leading to misunderstandings and even adverse health effects. Therefore, having knowledge can help individuals look after themselves as well as their family and have effective solutions to health problems. For the reasons mentioned above, the team launched a community project called “ARE YOU SURE?” – “DAILY MEDICINE” for the purpose of imparting health care knowledge and skills, especially pointing out common mistakes that students and their family usually make. 

After 3 months of operation, the project brought 6 topics related to “DAILY MEDICINE” including stroke, self-infusion, stress, acnes, digestive disorders and oral hygiene. These common and interesting topics were shared with effective visual aids, which attracted the attention of myriad LVC students.
