Mount Sinai Methodist Church receives kidney health education

Mount Sinai Methodist Church receives kidney health education. The Mount Sinai Methodist Church has benefited from the health education on prevention of kidney disease by the Kidney Health International (KHI).

June 16, 2024 happens to be the father’s day where fathers are celebrated.

The Mount Sinai Methodist Church chose to use the day to educate their members on prevention of kidney disease.

The Mount Sinai Methodist Church in Atonsu coincidentally has a policy to use the third Sunday of every month for health, social and environmental issues.

On this basis, the men in the church found it appropriate to invite the Kidney Health International to provide the congregation with a health talk on kidney disease prevention.

The program was well organized as there was no preaching on the day. The time for the preaching was given to health education.

The programs manager, Mr Sylvanus Gatorwu spent time to educate the congregants on what the kidneys are, what the kidneys do, causes of kidney diseases and how one can prevent kidney disease.

The highlight of the talk was when members wanted to know how they can detect that one was about to develop kidney disease.

To this, Mr Gatorwu spent a chunk of time explaining to the members that kidney disease is often without symptoms until it is too late. Therefore “your best bet to prevent kidney disease is to ensure that you regularly check your kidneys”

That way, one would easily know the status of their kidneys and if there were any early warning signs, these would be detected by doctors early enough for treatment.

He also didn’t miss words explaining to them that kidney disease treatment can be expensive, especially if one progressed to kidney failure and had to undergo dialysis or transplant.

The members showed great interest in the talk as the kept asking questions and requesting more information.
