The strategic plan of the community service and environmental development (CSED) aims to enhance PUA’S relationship with the surrounding community, and to promote social & economic responsibility.
As the vice president of CSED, the main aspect of our plan is to establish partnership with local organizations and authorities that can help expand the reach of PUA’s community services. It also seeks to ensure that these services are meeting the needs of the community, and are accessible to a wide range of community including those with disabilities and low income individuals.
One of CSED’s goals is to offer a variety of services that address diverse needs of the community, such as health screening & education, consultancy, professional development, awareness lectures and workshops, field researches, capacity building. Humanitarian aids as well as medical convoys are usually target poor areas, low income people, charity, orphan and civil society organizations.
Public school students neighboring PUA are also part of CSED plan and are provided with free medical checks by the PUA dentistry, pharmacy and physical therapy students and doctors. On an annual basis, PUA’s holds a grand celebration gathering the majority of charity and orphan organizations as one of the regular events of CSED.
