On 27 January 2025, our research group successfully organized a community outreach program named CLEAN WATER, HEALTHY FARMERS: TECHNOLOGY AGAINST LEPTOSPIROSIS led by Prof Anis Nurashikin Nordin, involving 30 farmers from Kampung Kota, Negeri Sembilan. The program was fully sponsored by the LIF Community Grant from the Royal Academy of Engineering (United Kingdom) and the UK Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT).
The objective of this program was to raise awareness on the importance of clean water and the role of technology in preventing leptospirosis among farming communities. The program featured a series of talks by invited speakers, including Dr Mohd Ridzuan, Pakar Perubatan Kesihatan Awam, KKM, Prof Monet Concepcion Detras, University of Phillipines and Prof Hazleen Anuar from IIUM.
We hope that this initiative will bring meaningful benefits to the community. Our sincere appreciation goes to all committee members for their valuable contributions in making this program a success. Anis Nurashikin Nordin Ahmad Fairuz Khairul Faisal Afiq Ghani Aliza Aini Muhammad Faiz Zairizam
