Holistic Human Health Course 2026: Promoting a Human-Centred Approach to Health and Well-being

A two-day Holistic Human Health (HHH) Course was conducted for III MBBS students on 5 and 6 November 2026, focusing on developing a comprehensive understanding of human health and holistic well-being.

The programme aimed to broaden students’ perspectives on health beyond the absence of disease, highlighting the interconnected dimensions of physical, mental, emotional, social and environmental well-being.

The two-day academic programme featured sessions on Universal Human Values, Understanding the Human Being, the Co-existence of the Self and Body, Happiness and Harmony, Human Constitution, Universal Health Principles, Self-regulation and Healthy Lifestyle Practices. Additional sessions explored the importance of daily routine, physical activity, exercise, posture, breath regulation, restoring body harmony and environmental health.

The academic sessions were facilitated by Dr. V. Sathyanarayanan, Dr. P. Supraja, Dr. Nikhil Bhavsar, Dr. Mirunalini and Dr. Swetha Ramani, who guided students through various dimensions of holistic health and their relevance to personal well-being and medical practice.

Interactive learning, student-sharing sessions and pre-test and post-test assessments were integral components of the programme, encouraging active participation, self-reflection and the application of concepts to everyday life.

The course emphasised the importance of understanding the human being as an integrated whole and recognising the role of self-awareness, self-regulation, healthy lifestyle choices and environmental harmony in maintaining well-being.

Through this academic initiative, the institution reaffirmed its commitment to nurturing future healthcare professionals who look beyond disease management and embrace a preventive, promotive, value-based and human-centred approach to healthcare.
