As LAMUHesSA's tenure comes to a term defined by dedication, innovation, and unwavering commitment to student welfare. This administration stood firmly for the voice of every Health Sciences student from formal correspondence with the University Registrar on student registration thresholds to consistent engagement on matters of academic rights, progression rules, and campus welfare ensuring students were heard at every table. Beyond representation, the cabinet invested deeply in student wellbeing, hosting the Mental Health Seminar for the Faculty of Health Sciences and a drug abuse awareness presentation that opened vital conversations on peer pressure and mental health that will long outlast this tenure, while also welcoming new students with warmth and clarity through the New Student Orientation sessions and the Faculty Induction for the Class of 2026, and bringing energy, opportunity, and unity to the student body through the Career Fair co-organized with EGYD, the intra-faculty quiz competition, and presidential addresses that carried LAMUHesSA's voice to international students and beyond. To the President and every member of the Cabinet: thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and your example. LAMUHesSA is stronger because of your leadership, and as you step into your next chapter, may you carry forward the same excellence, integrity, and care for others that defined your time in office. Congratulations, and every success in your future endeavors!

On the 21st and 22nd of May 2026, our Second Year, First Semester Public Health students toured the soap factory at Katuba and the oil refinery at Mt. Meru for hands-on lessons in industrial hygiene, waste management, and product safety.
At the soap factory they watched production lines, learned about raw material handling, quality checks, and wastewater treatment proof that soap science is more exciting than it sounds. At the Oil refinery the tour covered fuel processing, storage safety, spill prevention, and emission controls reminding everyone that “don’t try this at home” really applies to refineries.
We’ve built a strong relationship with Mt. Meru over the past three years through regular visits. Ms. Stella Lutanda, Head SHEQ, has been exceptional, always welcoming our groups with open arms and sharing practical insights that enrich our students’ learning. Staff at both sites provided valuable guidance on regulatory compliance, hazard communication, and emergency response.
Our students asked sharp questions, made insightful observations, and many are keen to pursue internships with Mt. Meru, PPE and enthusiasm at the ready!! Many thanks to the teams at Katuba Mt. Meru for the warm welcome and for turning industrial public health into a memorable (and surprisingly fun) learning experience.

On the 20th of May 2026, 61 Public Health students from our university enjoyed an educational field visit to Omar Farms in Makeni. The purpose of the tour was to observe real-world animal husbandry, milk production and food-safety practices, and to learn about measures for preventing zoonotic disease and cross-contamination: critical topics for future public health professionals.
Omar Farms proved an unforgettable setting. Students encountered an impressive menagerie of exotic birds and animals, including ostriches, emus, pelicans, parrots, majestic geese, and even a herd of camels, eliciting gasps and wide smiles from many who described the sight as a “once-in-a-lifetime” experience. The herd of camels was a particular highlight; students were fascinated by camel behavior and the farm’s camel-milk operations.
During the visit, farm staff walked the students through the camel milk production process, demonstrating hygiene protocols, quality-assurance checks, and steps used to minimize zoonotic risk and prevent cross-contamination between animals and milk products. These practical demonstrations brought classroom concepts to life and sparked lively discussion among students about food safety, One Health principles, and opportunities for community-tailored interventions.
Omar Farms also supplies camel meat to Muslim and other communities, illustrating the farm’s role in local food systems and culturally sensitive supply chains. The warm, informative welcome by farm staff made the learning experience both comfortable and deeply engaging. Several students expressed interest in pursuing internships at the farm to gain hands-on experience.
We thank Omar Farms for hosting our Public Health cohort and for sharing practical insights that will enrich our students’ understanding of zoonosis, safe milk production, and community health practice. Experiences like this help prepare our students to bridge theory and practice in real-world settings, sometimes with a feathered friend or camel by their side!
