ISLAMABAD: Five students of the Health Services Academy (HSA) have been selected for the United Nations’ prestigious Millennium Fellowship 2025.

The selected students of the BS Environmental Health Sciences and Management program at HSA are Rizwan Ullah, Shahzad Akram, Muhammad Waqas, Heera Sangal and Munazzah Fatima.

“Through the fellowship, we aim to gain leadership skills, global exposure, and practical experience in advancing the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 3 (Health), SDG 6 (Water and Sanitation), and SDG 13 (Climate Action),” Rizwan Ullah said.

The students will work collaboratively on a project titled “HS Aspireans: Towards a Cleaner and Healthier Future.”
