The University of Health Sciences (UHS) continues to inspire a generation of health professionals who value both physical wellness and social responsibility. This year, UHS students proudly participated in the Red Cross Humanitarian Marathon 2025, held in Phnom Penh, to raise awareness about health, fitness, and humanitarian service. The event brought together athletes, students, and citizens from across Cambodia, all running for a shared cause — to promote healthy living and compassion for others.
Inspiring Young Leaders in Health and Sports
Representing UHS were students from various faculties, including medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, and public health. They joined thousands of participants in different race categories, demonstrating not just athletic strength but also the values of teamwork, perseverance, and service.
Through their participation, the students embodied UHS’s mission of developing well-rounded health professionals — individuals who are not only skilled in their fields but also dedicated to improving lives within their communities. The event also highlighted how sports can serve as a bridge between physical health and social impact, fostering solidarity and motivation among Cambodia’s youth.
Encouraging Active Lifestyles and Social Responsibility
The Red Cross Humanitarian Marathon 2025 served as a reminder that health is more than the absence of illness — it’s a holistic state of physical, mental, and social well-being. By taking part, UHS students demonstrated how regular exercise contributes to mental clarity, stress management, and long-term wellness.
Moreover, their presence in the marathon symbolized a commitment to humanitarian values. The Red Cross’ mission aligns closely with UHS’s philosophy of compassion, care, and service to others. Participating in this event was not merely about running a race; it was about advocating for a healthier, kinder, and more connected society.
Building the Next Generation of Health Advocates
UHS continues to encourage its students to engage in community-based programs, volunteer work, and events like this marathon that reinforce the importance of empathy in healthcare. By stepping out of the classroom and onto the marathon route, students experienced firsthand what it means to be health ambassadors — promoting wellness through action, not just words.
The University of Health Sciences remains a leading example of how higher education can combine academic excellence with civic engagement. Events such as the Red Cross Humanitarian Marathon demonstrate that the spirit of health and humanity runs strong among Cambodia’s future medical professionals.
