Abigail Ashley
To commemorate the birthday celebration of celebrated media personality and health advocate Abigail Ashley, a free health screening which included pregnancy testing was organised at the Gratitude Children and General Medical Centre.
The comprehensive health screening also included checks for BLUE (Blood Urea and Electrolytes), full blood count, blood sugar levels, blood pressure and malaria.
The initiative, which aimed at giving back to the community and promoting preventive healthcare, has received a lot of accolades from beneficiaries.
The event drew a number of people from the surrounding communities who took advantage of the opportunity to assess their health status at no cost. Abigail Ashley, a chronic kidney disease survivor who has dedicated her life to health advocacy, shared that the screening was her way of expressing gratitude for the gift of life as well as encouraging others to prioritise their health.
Participants also received basic health education and counseling from medical professionals at the centre. This act of compassion underscores Abigail’s ongoing commitment to health awareness and her passion for touching lives beyond the screen.
