Kidney Health International Screens Over 300 to Mark World Diabetes Day – Short read

Kidney Health International Screens Over 300 to Mark World Diabetes Day. To mark the World Diabetes Day, the Kidney Health International, the Non-Governmental Organizational arm of the Kidney Konsult has successfully screened over 300 people to mark the World Diabetes Day.

World Diabetes Day provides an opportunity to raise awareness about diabetes as a critical global public health issue.

The Kidney Health International takes keen interest in the day because globally diabetes ranks the number one cause of kidney disease.

For the first time, participants had their creatinine checked as part of the screening.

They also enjoyed free consultation from medical doctors who volunteered to join the screening.

Here are some pictures from the screening.

Registration desk, the first point of call

Some came right after funeral programs

High blood pressure is a known cause of chonic kidney disease. This is a crucial desk

Obesity is a risk factor for chronic kidney disease. The equipment is well set before the day begins

What will a world diabetes day be without checking blood sugar. People hate the punching of the finger, but can’t bypass this desk

I don’t know why it is called item 13, but this table is there to keep us alive and alert

For some, blood samples were taken for further examination

Dr Tannor and his team of doctors got busy at the tail end with consulations. Done with smiles

We called and the community responded

Don’t even know what instruction was been given, but the heat of the day was obvious

Engaging participants who arrive early is crucial. After all it is a day for education

The people in this tent is a reminder of the work ahead
