Hundreds Attend Opening Day of Health Fair
Hundreds of individuals took advantage of the opening day of the Ministry of Health’s multi-day health fair, held at the Multipurpose Cultural and Exhibition Centre. The event is being held in collaboration with United Hands Inc and the South Leeward Conference of Seventh Day Adventists.
The first day was dedicated exclusively to children aged 12 and under and adults 60 years and older, offering a safe and focused environment for two of the most at-risk age groups.
Attendees benefited from a wide range of free health services, including general medical check-ups, dental screenings, vision assessments, and other essential tests.
The health fair continues over the next three days when it will be open to the general public. All are encouraged to attend and take advantage of the comprehensive health services being offered.
Numbers are given until the daily capacity is reached.
