A free health screening day for 500 residents

Twelve volunteer doctors, nurses and pharmacists set up in the community hall at 8am. By noon, the queue stretched past the market.

Over the day, 500 residents had their blood pressure, blood sugar and eyesight checked. Many had never been screened before.

Sixty-three people were found with high blood pressure, and 18 were referred for follow-up care, which the foundation is supporting.
