September 1, (THEWILL) – A non-governmental organisation, under the aegis of Eunice Nnachi Women Advocacy Foundation (ENWAF), in collaboration with Kiosate Boy Child Foundation (KBCF), on Thursday, screened over 308 patients for high blood pressure and sugar, using drugs.
The screening was conducted to identify patients with high blood pressure and sugar levels and provide them with appropriate treatment.
The Founder/CEO, ENWAF, Lady Eunice Nnachi, who spoke to newsmen shortly after the free medical outreach at Ekeki park, noted that the programme was part of the activities of the foundation to contribute meaningfully to the development of the society.
Lady Nnachi emphasised the need for people to check their blood pressure and blood sugar levels, as these are indications of sound health.
“The screening process involved testing of over 100 patients’ blood glucose levels and 310 blood pressure patients. The patients were given drugs and foods to help regulate their blood sugar and blood pressure levels.
“The screening was conducted by a team of healthcare professionals who provided the patients with information on how to maintain healthy blood sugar and blood pressure levels.
“The screening process was successful in identifying patients with high blood pressure and sugar levels. The patients were provided with appropriate treatment and advised on how to maintain healthy blood sugar and blood pressure levels. The screening process was conducted in a safe and comfortable environment, and the patients were treated with care and respect.”
On her part, CEO/Founder of KBCF, Lady Stella Doumu, who doubles as a nurse, advised parents to take proper care of the boys, as much as the girl child, as they constitute a larger percentage of leaders in the family and society.
Lady Doumu also called on young boys and girls to stay away from hard drugs, as they are very detrimental to their mental and physical health.
One of the beneficiaries of the free medical outreach, Miss Ebizi Victor, expressed appreciation to the non-governmental organisations for organising the programme.
The free medical outreach organised by ENWAF in collaboration with the Kiosate Boy Child Foundation, had over two hundred persons coming out to check their blood pressure and blood sugar levels in Ekeki community and its environs.
