College of Medicine Adventist Association lead pick-a-thon to promote environmental health

The College of Medicine Pasifika Campus, Medical Adventist Student Association has taken the initiative to engage in community outreach by organising a pick-a-thon.

Forty of them were out and about this morning picking up rubbish from their Extension Street Campus all the way to Albert Park.

While speaking to fijivillage News, FSM Adventist Association Vice President, Jasmine Muasau says as medical students they not only focus on taking care of themselves but also have to take care of the environment and make sure that it's clean and healthy.

Muasau says coming up on their next campaign is a free clinic for those who want to get their blood pressure checked, their vitals checked, as well as their blood sugar.
