Screenings for prostate cancer, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and HIV/AIDS are included. Workshops on nutrition and physical fitness will also be held.

Comments

I have attended this event in past years. The health program is first-rate. Thje doctors are knowledgeable and the format is smooth. Every phase of the health checkups are set up so that the lines move quickly and efficiently. The cost for the health services wouls be astronomical, but on this day, every procvedure is free and followup is available if one wants to do paid office visits,
