Throughout the week-long event, themed “Fostering Peace as a Prerequisite for Equitable Health,” 9PSB spearheaded initiatives aimed at raising awareness about the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The centerpiece of their efforts was a webinar titled “My Health, My Right,” led by health expert Dr. Stephen from the AXA Mansard Wellness Team.

The culmination of the health week activities was a 42-minute walk attended by all staff members, symbolizing the company’s dedication to promoting physical activity as a means of improving overall health and reducing the risk of chronic conditions.
Global Public Health Week, an annual event organized by the World Federation of Public Health Associations (WFPHA), serves as a platform for global public health stakeholders to come together and discuss best practices in disease prevention and health promotion. Through its proactive participation, 9PSB demonstrated its commitment to fostering a culture of health and wellbeing within its organization and the broader community.
