An alarming blood pressure taken at the outreach clinic. A normal score is around 120 over 80. This patient had no idea and felt relatively fine. The issue with chronic disease is that it is asymptomatic - so people don't know they are at risk of stroke, diabetes or other cardiac event. Through the screening program, this patient will receive treatment before such an outcome occurs. Preventive health at its best. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54de79e0e4b0be2d4c8aaeac/1444583715723-R5GOM3YMTIHCWJOWETPK/image-asset.jpeg Trip | October 2015 - Day 3: Cervical Cancer Screenings, Cryo Procedures, Chronic Disease Assessments, Vision Care, Nutrition and more...
