OBJECTIVE:

UCSI University proudly presented the 24th Annual Public Health Campaign 2026 on 25 July 2026 under the theme “Protection is Power, Love with Responsibility.” This year’s campaign focused on HPV and HIV prevention, aiming to break the stigma, raise awareness, and empower the community through education, prevention, and responsible choices. HIV is today largely transmitted sexually, with over 70% of new cases affecting those aged 20–39, while cervical cancer caused by HPV remains the fourth most common cancer among women in Malaysia.

Led by students from the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, the campaign featured FREE health screenings, educational booths, and engaging exhibitions. Visitors had the opportunity to take part in screenings including HIV, syphilis, hepatitis C, body fat, blood glucose, and more, while gaining valuable knowledge about health, prevention, and responsible choices.

Held at Pavilion Bukit Jalil, the campaign served as a meaningful platform to promote health awareness, early prevention, and informed decision-making, while encouraging open conversations around HPV, HIV, and sexual health. Through these efforts, the campaign contributed towards building a healthier, more compassionate, and well-informed community.
