General advice was given to those who needed more attention and those that had adverse results were referred to Manhyia District Hospital
Basic testing equipments such as the manual sphygmomanometer,RDT test strips on top of the show case ;screening was underway
Some leaders of the community including the chief imam came around to show appreciation on behalf of the community members .
Someone from the crowd said something funny that cracked me up
Community Imam and and elder visited to show appreciation
The programme ended successfully with 68 people in all screened.
I took 2 days off duty to run this programme
Early the next morning I was on my way back to Navrongo (a journey of about 8 hours ) back to my work station
In a bus back to Navrongo after a successful programme
It was quite a self fulfilling event as I felt great serving a community I grew in and in effect giving back to community
I am sure you followed the event and are also enthused about the exercise
Thanks so much for your time
It's more than good to serve the society
