The Eso Kidney Alive Foundation successfully organized a Free Health Screening Exercise at Ekpan Police Station, Delta State, Nigeria, as part of its ongoing commitment to promoting kidney health awareness, early detection, and accessible healthcare services for communities.
This outreach initiative was designed to provide essential health checks, educate participants on kidney disease prevention, and encourage healthier lifestyle choices that can reduce the risk of chronic illnesses.
Police officers and members of the surrounding community often face demanding schedules, stress, and limited time for routine health checkups.
Recognizing this need, the foundation brought healthcare services directly to Ekpan Police Station to ensure easier access to preventive care.
The screening exercise benefited officers, staff, and residents in the area by helping them understand their current health status and identify possible risk factors early.
Participants received basic health assessments and guidance from healthcare personnel and volunteers. The exercise focused on key indicators linked to kidney health and overall wellness.
Blood pressure checks
Blood sugar testing
Weight and body health assessments
General wellness consultation
Kidney health education
Lifestyle and nutrition guidance
These screenings are important because conditions such as hypertension and diabetes are major risk factors for kidney disease when left unmanaged.
Many kidney-related conditions develop quietly, often showing no obvious symptoms in the early stages. Routine screenings can help detect warning signs before they become serious health problems.
Through this initiative, the Eso Kidney Alive Foundation encouraged participants to take preventive action by:
Scheduling regular health checkups
Monitoring blood pressure and sugar levels
Staying hydrated
Eating a balanced diet
Exercising regularly
Avoiding self-medication
Seeking medical advice when needed
Early action can make a significant difference in protecting kidney health and improving long-term wellbeing.
The free screening exercise was well received, with participants expressing appreciation for the opportunity to access healthcare services at no cost. Many attendees gained valuable health information and practical steps they can apply in their daily lives.
By taking healthcare directly into workplaces and communities, the foundation continues to remove barriers that often prevent people from getting checked early.
