He highlighted GIHCA’s mission to promote good health and health education globally, emphasizing that the free medical outreach would become a recurring initiative in the community.

Participants at the medical outreach received not only vital health screenings but also valuable knowledge on managing conditions such as high blood pressure and sugar levels.

Dr. Gafari clarified that GIHCA operates as an independent non-governmental organization dedicated to supporting communities.

Emphasizing the silent threat of high blood pressure, Dr. Ramat stressed the importance of regular medical check-ups for a healthier and safer community.

“I believe today’s medical checkup will help a lot of people because we conducted tests for tuberculosis, high blood pressure, sugar levels, and more,” stated Dr. Adesesan.
