Goal 3: Good Health and Well-being
Ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being at all ages is essential to sustainable development. One of the main missions of MUBS is to establish defined policy for health and wellbeing that is accessible to students, faculty and community.
Therefore, MUBS has launched collaborations with national and international institutions such NGOS, hospitals, universities, schools and municipalities in order to organize continuous events and projects to help protect, preserve, and promote the wellbeing, and empower community individuals to live healthier lifestyle.
The National Wellness Network (NWN) is an organization established by the Modern University for Business & Science (MUBS) with an objective to empower individuals to adopt and maintain healthy lifestyle behaviors. It is committed to improve the wellness of the community through the delivery of affordable, comprehensive state of the art health and wellness services of the maximum quality for individuals of all ages.
In Summer 2021, MUBS launched the Modern University Medical Center (MUMC), a diabetes treatment center in Al-Semqanieh, Chouf area. The center is a great step in developing health services in the Chouf region in particular and Lebanon in general. The idea of the center started from a deep belief in the need to contribute to providing services that meet the needs of patients and society.
MUBS has signed more than 100 memorandum of understanding with various schools, hospitals, NGOs, municipalities to better benefit the community by offering training, awareness campaigns, and workshops. Applying for projects/grants that serve the development of the community plays a crucial part in the continuity of our programs.
Virtual Exchange courses were offered between Modern University for Business and Science, Stanford University, San Jose State University in the United States and Cardiff Metropolitan University in the United Kingdom.
MUBS is committed to the health and wellbeing of students, staff, faculty, visitors, and stakeholders. Smoking is the leading cause of preventable death and disease, thus MUBS aims to create a healthful and comfortable environment for all members of the University.

MUBS runs tournaments for Schools every year; Sports games include
Football and Ping-Pong as well as fitness tournaments (power lifting and
circuit training).
NWN- Sports and Fitness Center:
The center features state-of-the-art equipment, sports classes, sauna, as well as a swimming pool and Jacuzzi (soon).
Mental Health Support
MUBS Student Success Office addresses mental health awareness and cases that require assistance and follow-up through providing counseling and referrals to students who request it. The Office also addresses stigma that surrounds mental health, and offers workshops, training, and exposure to recent findings to community members.
Mental health is a key topic tackled by MUBS’s “BASME” initiative (Breaking the Stigma around Mental Health in the Middle East). BASME encourages programs and innovative approaches to reach those in need, taking into consideration that the majority of the country’s mental health care services are provided privately and concentrated in Beirut, resulting in grave inequalities in access to care.
