Yesterday, Nelspruit Lions Club joined forces with and scheduled a Women's Health Day in Kanyamazane.
The day started with a quick aerobics session, after which attendees were screened for blood pressure and blood sugar levels, and then had their eyes checked.
Our club issued over 50 pairs of spectacles for free, and several referral letters were issued for high blood pressure and blood glucose.
We had around 90 residents of Kanyamazane join us over the course of the day.
We would particularly like to thank Dave Kenyon Optometrist - both Dave and Callan, Nelspruit Mediclinic for providing the blood pressure monitor and a nursing sister, and Dr Anju Koirala along with Sisters Carol Silinda and Mbali Lekhuleni from Rob Ferreira Hospital. These people gave willingly of their time to help us serve our community on a public holiday! Also a huge vote of thanks to Bella Zwane and Mpumi Dladla and their ladies, plus the Elshaddai Tabernacle Church for providing the venue.
