JECRC Hospital–Infinite Care to Add New Dimension to Health Education
The launch of JECRC Hospital–Infinite Care marks an important step in the university’s efforts towards health education and institutional development. It is creating opportunities to connect health education beyond classrooms, laboratories and clinical training with preventive care, healthy lifestyles, mental health, behavioural well-being and community engagement.
Physio Fest reflected this approach by encouraging students to view health not merely as the treatment of illness, but as an essential component of a balanced and healthy life.
