Apire Community Outreach #Patient Compliance

Love is life. If you miss love, you miss life

Patience compliance has always been an issue in the medical sector, a challenge we have always faced and seeks to overcome. After doing all the necessary tests and diagnosing patients for a particular pathology or dysfunction they go back home and do not take their medications are prescribed by their health professional. It is comprehensible that sometimes it is a little difficult following due to old age and forgetfulness however when it happens like that, ailments get worse, microorganisms evolve and then patients have to eventually return to the clinic for stronger medication. More stress on you as a patient and more stress on the physician too.

The Apire township happens to be just adjacent to Santase, so after our outreach at Santase it came as no surprise when the neigbouring town also wanted to also have access to similar opportunity. Who doesn’t like free? We consider is as service humanity, it is the purpose of the group after all, saving vision and enlightening people about certain things they have been taking for granted which shouldn’t be so. We are glad more and more people are benefiting from our service day in day out.

If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things
