Residents of Linden and surrounding communities were yesterday afforded the opportunity to participate in a health fair on the Linden/Georgetown bus park.
The Fair formed part of the Linden Town Week of activities.
Delon Daly, Government Medical Officer, attached to the Linden Hospital Complex, told the media, “The motto for this Town Week is Rekindling our culture.
“You know that in Guyana, there are certain old cultures, with regard to health, that we uphold- so we want to inspire new culture in terms of health.”
Bailey said that the objective of the Health Fair is to sensitize persons about good health practices and how to take care of themselves- especially those afflicted with chronic diseases.
He added that the Merundoi team was involved in the Fair, to raise persons’ consciousness, of environmental health and the effects of global warning.
Dust was described as the main pollutant in Linden. Daly advised that residents instead of just dusting their homes regularly, develop the habit of regular wiping with wet rags, to help alleviate this problem. Wetting of the roads in areas such as Block 22 and other dust prone communities is also being encouraged.
The Health Fair featured booths that dealt with blood donations, blood pressure and diabetes testing, eye Care and testing, HIV and tuberculosis testing and counselling among others.
With regard to the blood drive, Daly said that efforts are being made to increase the blood supply at the Linden Hospital Complex.
