Towards a University that Promotes Health and Quality of Life

The "Sehhat Taibah" The Health-Promoting University is a strategic initiative under the University Environment Program. It supports the strategic objective of developing and sustaining the university environment within Taibah University’s 2025–2030 Strategic Plan.

The initiative aims to create a university environment that promotes health and well-being, enhances quality of life and productivity, strengthens institutional belonging, and embeds sustainable healthy practices across the University community.

It is founded on integrating health-promotion principles into all aspects of the university environment by developing supportive policies and practices, raising health awareness, encouraging healthy behaviors, and providing educational and workplace settings that enable individuals to adopt healthy and sustainable lifestyles. This includes physical, psychological, social, and environmental well-being.

The initiative also leverages education, scientific research, university services and activities, and community partnerships to advance health and quality of life. In doing so, it aligns with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030 and the Quality of Life Program, while strengthening Taibah University’s position as a leading national model in adopting the health-promoting university approach.
