Albukhary International University (AIU) reaffirmed its commitment to staff well-being through the AIU Fit4Lyfe 2025 Medical Talk Series: Health Education, held on 24 October 2025 at Lecture Theatre 6.
Designed to cultivate health awareness and proactive care among AIU’s workforce, the event featured two insightful sessions led by renowned medical specialists, inspiring participants to take charge of their health and make informed lifestyle choices.
🩺 Session 1: Early Detection Saves Lives
The session opened with “Awareness on Cancer: Early Detection Saves Lives”, delivered by Dr. Nor Liana Nisa Othman, O&G Consultant at Kedah Medical Centre.
Dr. Nor Liana underscored the importance of regular health screenings, self-examinations, and early detection — key factors in preventing late-stage diagnosis and improving recovery outcomes. Her talk highlighted that awareness, not fear, is the first step toward empowerment.
“Cancer is not a death sentence — awareness and early detection save lives,” she reminded the audience, encouraging all to prioritize routine check-ups.
👁️ Session 2: Healthy Eyes, Healthy Vision
The second session, “Healthy Eyes, Healthy Vision,” was presented by Dato’ Dr. Abdul Razak bin K.V. Koya Kutty, Chief Operating Officer and Ophthalmologist at Pusat Pakar Mata dan Lasik Utara.
Dr. Abdul Razak discussed preventive eye care, the impact of screen time, and ways to maintain good vision through proper habits, hydration, and diet.
Participants were also offered a free eye check, providing an immediate opportunity to assess and improve their ocular health.
💬 Promoting a Culture of Wellness and Continuous Learning
Through Fit4Lyfe 2025, AIU continues to strengthen its culture of wellness, education, and compassion. The initiative not only raises awareness about preventive healthcare but also reminds the AIU community that well-being is a shared responsibility — vital for sustaining productivity, happiness, and overall quality of life.
“At AIU, we care for minds that inspire, but we also care for the health that sustains them,” shared an organizer from the HR Department.
🌱 Looking Forward
As AIU continues its Fit4Lyfe 2025 series, future sessions will address broader health topics — including mental well-being, nutrition, and physical fitness — aligning with AIU’s holistic approach to nurturing both personal and professional growth.
By investing in health education, AIU ensures that every member of its community thrives — physically, mentally, and spiritually.
