Teachers Health, A National Investment

Nasriya Central College - Chilaw

Teachers are cornerstones of society, shaping the future generation. Their health and well-being are paramount, not just for their personal quality of life but also for their ability to effectively educate and inspire students. Unfortunately, many adults, including teachers, suffer silently from NCDs such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, cancer, and joint disorders, often due to long-term unhealthy habits and lack of timely medical attention. The demanding nature of the teaching profession, involving long hours, mental stress, and often irregular meal times, further places teachers at risk. The Insight Foundation is committed to addressing this critical need by empowering teachers with knowledge, facilitating access to essential health services, and encouraging sustainable healthy living.
