 Bus drivers, or the Grosely, Morsi and Granivier bus routes, were recently provided with an opportunity to get medical screening and health services following a health and health at the Grosely bus terminal. Health Educator in the Bureau of Health Education, Nadej Smith Lambert says, it is necessary that health services are brought to the bus drivers given their busy schedule. If you look at the schedule that the bus drivers really on a daily basis, it is really hectic for them. So sometimes they really do not have the time to access our services at the wellness centres between 8-4pm. So what we try to do is actually go out to people's work spaces, not necessarily physical buildings, but wherever that they work, try to set up shop right there, bring out our healthcare practitioners and offer services as many services as possible that can be offered at the wellness centre, bring it out so they can access the services while at work. President of the Grosely Minibus Association, Danny Edward, welcomed the opportunity of the health affair and says, this activity is extremely important given that bus drivers have been falling ill over the past few years. As you know, minibus drivers, the way we operate is we are always on the go. We work almost 24 hours a day and to get us out of our comfort zone and our busy schedule, the main fact that the Ministry of Health could bring this to us, to the drivers is something I welcome. It's right there, it's more convenient I could say, so it's adjusted that we, the association, welcome. We need to pay more attention into the small things so if we could detect anything early, it's better than when it becomes more trouble when we cannot adjust it. So I welcome again, I'm going to say again, we welcome the gesture and I think it's a good initiative. Public Health Nursing Supervisor Ginny Morgan-Rafael spoke on the need for individuals to get regular health screening, to ensure early detection and prevent chronic diseases. Health screening is very important, especially as it allows the individual to get to know what is their regular numbers, knowing your numbers, what your figures are, what is normal to you. Especially as we get older, things change. So regular health screening is very important to the individual, both male and female. Early detection is one of the main things that we're able to do with regular health screening. So if you, someone who regularly sees your doctor, you take part in health activities, if anything is wrong, we're able to identify that immediately so that that issue can be addressed in a timely manner. The health fair provided the services of blood sugar and blood pressure testing, assessment of body mass index, doctor consultation, eye screening, HIV and syphilis rapid testing and nutrition counseling to name a few.
