Third-year students from the Biomedical Sciences Department visited Shorsh High School for Girls in Erbil to deliver a seminar titled, Sugar, Energy Drinks, and their Impact on Human Health under the supervision of Assistant Lecturer Bakhtawar Ziad Omer. They were warmly received by Mrs. Samia Abdullah Walee, the school director.
The session, held in the school’s main hall, was attended by 11th-grade students who actively participated in discussions about the health effects of excessive sugar and energy drink consumption. The Biomedical Sciences students emphasized the growing prevalence of these products among young people and highlighted their potential adverse effects, particularly the impact on the liver when consumed in excessive amounts.
At the end of the seminar, Mrs. Samia Abdullah Walee expressed her gratitude to the students for their informative presentation and commended their efforts in raising awareness. In return, the Biomedical Sciences students, on behalf of their department, thanked the school director for the opportunity to conduct the seminar.
