They have checked my Blood Pressure and they asked me to reduce my salt intake. I was also given drugs and a mosquito net.
I encourage other organisations and politicians to come to the aid of our people because most of us do not have money,” he pleaded. Speaking, the event facilitator, Olaolu, called on government at all levels to give priority to health as a healthy community is a developed community. “Government should give more priority to health.
It is when people are healthy that they will think of moving the nation forward. “This is a health enlightenment programme on malaria awareness.
