An Educational Visit to Ahmadiya High School Today

Education and enlightenment is an essential tool in the health field, as to whether a patient will get better or worse will depend on how well he or she was made understand the severity of the condition they present and the reasons why medications should not be joked with or any other things otherwise. But you do not only educate people who are sick who present themselves to the hospital, there is also the focus on preventive medicine which is an essential component of modern public health.

Thus today we have special invitation from TI Ahmadiya high school in Kumasi, inviting some of our volunteers to present on a health talk to enlighten their students not only on ocular health but general health in general as well as to motivate them to achieve great heights. Stay tune for updates as to how it all went down.
