Education is highly important in the health sector alright, for instance before you can actually get a patient to be compliant with the prescriptions given they need to come to term with their condition, understand what it is and what could go wrong if they refuse to follow protocol as instructed, irrespective of that it is difficult getting knowledge into heads that are not in a stable condition hence the need to always perform screening exercise in addition to education.
The main purpose for the Afram Plains visit was to enlighten the indigenous locales as already mentioned in the previous posts however we could not have just left without an eye care screening exercise. Something we call opportunistic screening, making use of the opportunity that has presented itself to give free eye care to town folks available. If you ever hear of free eye screening exercise within your locality like that of those we often organize I would very much suggest you participate because there are lots of ocular pathologies that could be silent and asymptomatic and yet deadly, and do not go alone too, you might just end up saving the vision of your neighbor.
If you love life, it will love you back sooner or later

Rice is a common food all across the globe now and there are various ways of always modifying its cooking to produce a different delicacy, that way we never get tired of it. In the Ghanaian indigenous setting the most popular delicacies here are plain rice with stew, braised rice, rice balls, jollof rice, fried rice and the wonderful awaakye, (maybe in the future we can learn about the Ghanaian culture in a more detail fashion). Rice is a carbohydrate and fall under the body building foods, it is also a great source of energy and has a very high nutritive value. It is free of gluten and some researches have even proven that it has anticancer properties and prevents constipation. Thus the children will be having lots of benefits from eating the rice we presented to them and go a long way to also improve their health.
