World Health Day, free blood-sugar testing on Saba

On World Health Day, Thursday, the Public Health Department Saba along with Child Focus Foundation; Body, Mind and Spirit; ASGS Foundation; Saba Health Care Foundation; and Saba Fit held free blood-sugar testing in The Bottom and Windwardside.

This was in line with this year’s World Health Day theme: Beat Diabetes. This aims to highlight the staggering rise in diabetes over the years. It is estimated that over eight per cent of the world’s
population live with this disease.
