Health Promoting University

HPU is an approach to creating a learning environment, organizational culture that promotes health and sustainable well-being for the entire campus community, and encourages campus community members to optimize their potential. HPU was initiated by the Asean University Network (AUN) health promotion division. Health Promoting University at UGM was declared in July 2019, consisting of seven main activities, namely health literacy, physical activity, healthy eating patterns, mental health, zero tolerance for drugs, tobacco and alcohol, zero tolerance for violence, bullying and harassment and the establishment of an environment healthy, safe and friendly to people with disabilities. Each activity is coordinated by a team and in each faculty there is also a program person in charge. All HPU activities are under the responsibility of the Deputy Chancellor of SDMA UGM (Prabandari, 2020).
