The University has a long track record in conducting health outreach programmes for the benefit  of the community. The University of Messina offers programs and projects to the local community for improving and promoting health. Three important projects have been conducted in the last year: kidney health awareness, neuromuscular diseases awareness, and health awareness regarding sports and nutrition for well-being. For example, in order to spread awareness of the importance of kidney health, the “Kidney Health for Everyone Everywhere Day” was offered to the community.  Also, free consultations and free visits for neuromuscular diseases were offered by the University health facilities during the “Neuromuscular Diseases Day 2019”.  A great amount of attention is given to  sport, food, health and well-being  in the  local community. For example, the Economics Department hosted the Health, Sport and Food Conference organized by the University of Messina for celebrating the International Sports and Health Day. Several presentations about agro-food marketing, nutrition and sports medicine were included in the agenda.
