At the Akouna health sub-center, 47 patients were screened and received immediate treatment, including the distribution of medication.

Physicians Advise on Seasonal Illnesses

During the health fairs, physicians conducted thorough examinations and observed that a large number of patients were suffering from seasonal illnesses such as viral fever, common cold, cough, and gastrointestinal issues. Based on these findings, doctors emphasized the importance of personal hygiene.

They advised attendees to drink boiled or clean water, consume a nutritious and balanced diet, and adopt precautionary measures in their diet and lifestyle according to the season. Physicians stressed that timely health check-ups and prompt treatment are the most effective ways to prevent most seasonal illnesses.

The advice highlighted the benefits of regular health screenings and encouraged individuals to take any health concerns seriously and seek immediate medical attention. This guidance was particularly relevant given the increased risk of infectious diseases during the monsoon season.
