ATTENTION : IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR ALL FUNERAL COMMITTEES

Recently there has been a large increase in incidence and prevalence of highly infectious and extremely dangerous diseases including Tuberculosis (TB), Hepatitis B (Jaundice), HIV/AIDS etc in our community worldwide. It is vital that those involved in giving ghusl and kafan to the dead should take utmost care that they do not put themselves at risk whereby these diseases can be transmitted to them. If the cause of death is one of these diseases, people should take preventative measures. However, it is not guaranteed that a person who has died of conditions like heart attack, stroke, cancer etc did not also have one of these very infectious diseases.

The Health Improvement Board of the Council of European Jamaats would like to invite entries for any visual art promoting pre-marital screening.

Entries can be in the form of Photos, Posters, Picture and so on together with a 50 word write up to explain your entry. Please ensure that your entry is in A3 or bigger size.

Prize: Blackberry Playbook for the winning entry

Deadline: Friday, 15 June 2012

Prize Draw: 3rd Shabaan 1433

All entries will be exhibited in the future at various mosques during the month of Ramadhan.

The Health Improvement Board of CoEJ held a retreat on the 25th of February 2012 at Harben House, Newport Pagnell for its members to meet and plan the future strategy of the CoEJ sub-committee. The retreat was facilitated by the capacity building team of CoEJ under the leadership of Dr. Sarfraz Jeraj and Dr. Akber Mohamedali.

We had a good attendance of the current office bearers, volunteers and some new faces at the retreat. The discussions were robust and productive and various issues were highlighted as discussed below. First, the vision for HIB was discussed, in turn formalising an agreed vision.
