Sickle Cell Disease Education and Awareness in your Community: http://youtu.be/gnrvYsZWR1c

Activities for the month

This month is for the public awareness of several health conditions and life stages such as aging. Some of these conditions( like sickle cell) we are born with. For some, the chances of contracting them are increased or reduced by our lifestyle choices or lack of educational information of preventive practices such as annual screening for HPV in women that could help in early detection of ovarian cancer which can be easily treated at a much lower cost if detected on time. The same goes for prostrate cancer. We will also learn how to manage conditions such as sickle cell so that there is less crisis episodes such as staying away from environments that can aggravate it, going for regular doctor’s visits and taking your medicines regularly. 

We also have cholesterol awareness for the month. With blood cholesterol identified as a major factor in top 3 killer diseases in the world today( Coronary artery disease,stroke and chronic obstructive plumonary disease(COPD), I believe it would be wise to take a second look at what you are eating. And don’t be deceived youths are now having these conditions that were formally associated with old age. So be smart. Go to our events page and learn more.
