MOSQUS AND NHS JOIN FORCES TO IMPROVE HEALTH RESEARCH AMONG MUSLIM
A mosque in Heckmondwike, England, has partnered with NHS organizations on a month-long health research initiative aimed at improving understanding of long-term health conditions. Facilitators held workshops every Friday after congregational prayers at Kanzul-Iman Jamia Mosque, collecting saliva samples from volunteers for a wider national study. The initiative particularly sought participation from local Pakistani residents, who remain underrepresented in health research. Mosque leaders welcomed the partnership, highlighting the importance of health awareness alongside spiritual wellbeing.
