Nurse Esta Initiative conducted a comprehensive medical outreach program at Ikot Okudomo Village Town Hall in Akwa Ibom State. The initiative was part of our ongoing commitment to enhance healthcare accessibility in underserved communities, providing essential services and health education to empower individuals for a healthier life.
Activities Conducted:
- Health Talks: Engaging and informative health talks were delivered by our team of healthcare professionals. Topics covered included preventive healthcare measures, hygiene practices, and the importance of routine health check-ups. The aim was to raise awareness and empower community members with knowledge to make informed health decisions.
- Dispensing of Routine Drugs: A dispensary was set up to provide routine medications to community members. Our team ensured that essential medicines for common ailments were distributed, addressing immediate healthcare needs and contributing to the overall well-being of the community.
- Vital Sign Checks: Comprehensive vital sign checks were conducted for individuals of all ages. Blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature were measured, allowing our healthcare professionals to identify potential health concerns and provide immediate guidance or referrals for further medical attention.
- Distribution of Toiletries: To promote personal hygiene, we distributed toiletries to community members. These included essential items such as soap, toothpaste, and sanitary products. The distribution aimed to encourage and facilitate good hygiene practices for improved overall health.
- Blood Pressure Machines: In addition to vital sign checks, Nurse Esta Initiative donated blood pressure machines to the community. This equipment will serve as a valuable resource for ongoing health monitoring, allowing individuals to track and manage their blood pressure levels with greater ease.
