130+
people screened across 1 edition
Many people live with high blood pressure or diabetes for years without knowing, until a stroke or kidney failure tells them. The Healthy Community Initiative brings screening into communities at no cost, with consultations, medicines and referrals on the same day.
Early detection is the most affordable care there is. One blood pressure check can prevent a stroke.
- Blood pressure, blood sugar, BMI, urinalysis and eye checks, with HIV and malaria tests when partners can provide them.
- Doctors on site counsel anyone with a worrying result and refer them on.
- A health talk on the year’s focus disease runs alongside.
Our AimScreening for 200 members of a community every year, and checks for complications in those already living with an NCD.
