In line with Yarmouk University’s mission to serve the community and promote health awareness, the Faculty of Pharmacy organized, on Thursday, April 9, 2026, an educational lecture and an awareness workshop in a booth-based format. The event targeted tenth-grade female students and the teaching staff of Bushra Comprehensive Mixed Secondary School, with the aim of spreading health and pharmaceutical awareness and reinforcing concepts related to the safe use of medicines and nutritional supplements.
