Why it matters
Public health outreach programs at large community events are vital for improving health literacy and early diagnosis in regions with limited access to routine care.
ARUSHA: VISITORS to the ongoing Northern Zone Nane Nane Exhibition in Arusha are receiving free health screening services from ADN Care Health Centre as part of efforts to promote early disease detection.
The services include blood pressure checks, blood sugar testing and laboratory examinations, enabling visitors to know their health status early and seek timely medical attention, according to ADN Care's Dr Aggrey Mapunda.
Speaking during the exhibition, Dr Mapunda said the health centre had also stationed an ambulance at the exhibition grounds to provide emergency services to patients requiring immediate medical assistance.
“Many people do not have the habit of going for regular health check-ups and they only discover they are sick when the disease has reached an advanced stage. Through these services, we are encouraging people to know their health status early and receive treatment on time,” he said.
