MBABANE – The Women and Children Hospital is the gift that keeps on giving.
Today the Hospital is going to be having a free health screening and medication for everyone. This was revealed by the Operating Director, Nandi Fuphe.
She mentioned that services to be provided include Blood Pressure (BP) screening, hypertension and pain management with a GP.
This is open to all people in the country in need of medical help.
When elaborating further she said, as a private hospital, their key mandate is to provide quality affordable healthcare.
Part of providing quality and affordable healthcare for them is preventative and healthcare screening. This means that one does not have to wait until they are sick to see a doctor.
“Many illnesses are prevented or managed through initiatives like this one, where our people can get their blood pressure checked for free. There is a reason that high blood pressure is called the silent killer, it is because many people are not aware that they may have hypertension, and as a result, it goes untreated.
“Hypertension is a big problem all over the world, and we have a high prevalence in Eswatini,” said the Director.
In addition to that, she said they are, as a hospital, passionate about the well-being of people, events like this help them give back to the community, and assist people to take charge of their health.
“We look forward to many more initiatives where we partner with all our people, in helping them to achieve sound health. After all, health is the new wealth, and we are excited to be a part of it,” she said.
