NCD PROGRAMME

A special activity commenced during the current year relates to the University employee Non-communicable disease screening programme (NCD). Accordingly, all employees of the university, over 35 years of age, 

Each and every University employee is included in this programme and would be subjected to the medical tests, as required, up to the time of retirement. Its objective is to provide the individual with an opportunity to spend the period of retirement as a healthy person. This program is being implemented at a very low cost and it is worthy of being implemented on an island-wide scale. In such s situation, the University program could be studied and considered as a pilot project.
