Health is wealth and it needs to be protected. Ever since its inception in 2005, the Health Unit of Raja Peary Mohan College has worked towards creating a healthier society by popularizing health-related issues among students and the public in general. The activities of the Health Unit are multifaceted and include

• Providing preliminary treatment in emergencies on the campus before professionals take over.
• Spreading awareness about diseases concerning the public like PCOD, COVID, Thalassemia, etc. mainly through seminars on the campus by doctors, scientists and government organizations. Raising awareness about a disease is a process that seeks to inform and educate people about prevention, and early detection, and is key to ensuring effective treatment. 
• Organizing regular programmes for maintaining fitness and a healthy lifestyle like Yoga training programme under the guidance of experienced yoga teachers, campaigning about healthy dietary habits and the importance of hygiene in the prevention of diseases.
• Organizes Thalassemia detection camps at regular intervals in collaboration with Government organizations so that every student gets a chance to get tested during their graduation course.
• Providing counseling to Thalassemia trait-positive students and their families is a social obligation of the Health Unit.
• Organizing outreach programmes like awareness campaigns about malnutrition, Dengu, Malaria, etc. in nearby localities and villages.
• Collaborating with the government in its health-related campaigns like Dengue and Malaria awareness campaigns, COVID vaccination camp, sanitization of college premises before reopening of campus physically after lockdown period,  etc.

Health unit activities are carried on in offline as well as online modes. In the coming years, the Health Unit wishes to introduce a Student Health Card where the health of every student would be monitored during their tenure by regular checkups by visiting doctors.
