Al-Azhar Continues Student Height and Weight Checks Under National Health Project

Al-Azhar’s institutes sector is continuing height and weight measurements for students as part of a national project to address obesity and underweight and prevent physical inactivity.

The measurement phase has been under way since October 15, 2026, covering students at Al-Azhar institutes.

The checks form part of the project’s broader focus on disease prevention through tackling weight-related health concerns and avoiding inactivity.

The ongoing work represents the body-measurement stage of the initiative. No figures were provided on the number of students assessed or the findings so far.
