As of our most recent monthly clinic on June 2nd, we have screened and provided medications to our participants 535 times. Most of our participants receive two different medications. Only a few receive one type of medication, and another few receive three or four different medications, two for Hypertension and two for Diabetes.
Other supplies we use at our clinics are battery operated BP machines, Glucometers, blood glucose test strips, lancets, and alcohol wipes.
Stipend to the local volunteers who assist in the clinics.
On January 4th, 2018 we had a screening event. We screened, provided health education, food, and medications to 180 people. It is through our screening clinics that we identify people with Hypertension and or Diabetes. Once identified, they are followed, meaning they receive routine care for their condition through our monthly clinics. Having the monthly clinics is essential because Hypertension and Diabetes are only successfully controlled with ongoing maintenance treatment with medications and lifestyle(dietary and activity) change.
We really appreciate your support and partnership.
