AUIS showcased its commitment to community support by hosting a successful fundraising event for Hiwa Hospital. The event named "Save Hiwa," was organized by dedicated students from the MLS (Medical Laboratory Sciences) program, Sava Dana and Shnawe Haji.
Taking place on November 20th, 2022, the event was held in the cafeteria of the AUIS main building. Attendees came together with homemade food, contributing to the fundraising initiative that aimed to aid Hiwa Hospital’s patients. The funds raised during the event were put to excellent use: the students managed to secure the purchase of 5 crucial chemotherapy infusion pump machines for Hiwa Hospital, situated in the Sulaymaniyah province.
These infusion pump machines play a vital role in patients' treatment plans, ensuring the effective administration of chemotherapy. By providing the hospital with these essential pieces of equipment, the AUIS community, particularly the MLS students, has demonstrated their dedication to the well-being of others, making a meaningful impact on the local healthcare sector.
