Catholic student group intensifies health outreach on NCDs at Seikwa enclave

The "Pax Romana", a group of Catholic students at the Seikwa Nursing and Midwifery Training College (NMTC) in the Tain District of the Bono Region has intensified community health outreach campaign to stem Non-communicable Diseases (NCDs) in the area.

According to Mr Henry Atta Gyamfi, the leader of the group, the outreach targets hypertension education, saying that the condition remained one of the deadly NCDs in the country.

In an interview with Sompa FM at Seikwa, he said presently the group was visiting homes, churches and public gatherings for the outreach.

He said hypertension was responsible for heart failures, strokes and even blindness.

Mr Gyamfo cautioned the public against late diets, smoking and alcoholism as well as the consumption of salty diets, urging everybody to exercise regularly.
