The Department of Rehabilitation Sciences at The University of Faisalabad organized a Bone Mineral Density (BMD) Camp on October 16, 2025, at the OPD Basement, New Building, Amin Campus. The camp aimed to promote awareness about bone health, facilitate early screening for bone density abnormalities, and encourage preventive healthcare practices among students, faculty, and staff. The event offered free Bone Mineral Density scans and consultation sessions focusing on musculoskeletal health and lifestyle management to reduce the risk of osteoporosis and related conditions.

A total of 240 participants availed the screening services. Results showed that 57 participants had normal bone density, 168 were identified with osteopenia, and 15 were diagnosed with osteoporosis. These findings highlighted the growing importance of regular screening and awareness regarding bone health among adults. The camp received an overwhelming response, with participants appreciating the Department’s efforts to provide both a valuable health service and an educational opportunity within the university. The initiative also reflected TUF’s ongoing commitment to community well-being and preventive healthcare.
