Abstract:
The University student population has been generally has been checked by different
diseases globally. Estimates suggest that around 30% of students are affected by
diseases and/or special care needs. In the process of transition from high school to
University, aside from undertaking responsibility for own education, students are also
expected to take care for own health. Because of global ageing and increase in life
expectancy worldwide, efforts have been made to address and implement the
importance and value of years spent in good health. As future leaders and taskforce in
various job sectors will be drawn from current University student population, it is
essential that their health-related problems are recognized and properly managed. Overall, University students reported to suffer from Malaria, HIV/AIDS, UTI, Typhoid, TB, and Flu. This has negativity affected their life and academic journey and therefore calls
