The University is committed to:
- Build Healthy Public Policy

Across all our campuses, we endeavour to bring sustainable and meaningful change in each of these areas:
Healthcare Services
Symbiosis International (Deemed University) offers healthcare services for all its students, teaching and non-teaching staff through the Symbiosis Centre of Health Care (SCHC), Symbiosis Centre for Emotional Wellbeing (SCEW) and the Symbiosis University Hospital and Research Centre (SUHRC).
Nutrition And Dietetics
Healthy Food and Nutrition are vital to wellbeing of individuals. Adequate nutrition and wellbeing of young adults reduces not only the risk of morbidity and premature mortality due to non-communicable diseases but also improves quality of life.
The university offers an excellent platform for nutrition education to improve nutritional status to ensure a healthy living as young adults. Further, good nutrition during this phase enhances learning potentials and professional growth.
Sports & Fitness
Being physically active is key to good overall physical and mental health and is an important factor in promoting wellbeing. Symbiosis International (Deemed University) encourages all its community members to be active and physically fit.
The Department of Sports, Recreation & Wellness (DSRW) places emphasis on promoting Physical Literacy among all stakeholders at SIU and strives towards developing SMART, HEALTHY and ACTIVE campuses by providing access to sporting facilities
Community Outreach
The University has launched Symbiosis Community Outreach Programme and Extension (SCOPE) with the objective of positively impacting the community around the University.
SCOPE undertakes different initiatives in and around its campuses in the health and non-health sector leveraging strengths of various constituents and utilizing student power through Service Learning.
