PRA's Annual CSR Event: Health Awareness Campaign in Support of Osi-Iyalode Inauguration, Owu Kingdom, Abeokuta.
At PRA, we believe in giving back to the communities we serve. This year, our annual Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) event took a meaningful turn as we supported the inauguration of the Osi-Iyalode in Owu Kingdom, Abeokuta, with a comprehensive health awareness campaign. Our dedicated team of nurses provided essential health services, making a significant impact on the well-being of the community.
Comprehensive Health Services Provided
Our CSR event was marked by a series of health checks and screenings aimed at promoting well-being and early detection of common health issues. Our services included:
Malaria Testing: Malaria remains a significant health challenge in many parts of Nigeria. Our team conducted malaria tests, providing immediate results and necessary medication for those affected. This proactive approach helps in early detection and timely treatment, reducing the prevalence and impact of malaria in the community.
Blood Sugar Testing: Monitoring blood sugar levels is crucial in preventing and managing diabetes. Our nurses performed blood sugar tests to help identify individuals at risk. Early detection of high blood sugar levels can prevent complications and promote healthier lifestyle choices among community members.
Blood Pressure Checks: High blood pressure is a silent killer that can lead to serious health complications if left unchecked. We provided blood pressure checks to help residents stay informed about their heart health. Regular monitoring and awareness can significantly reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Eye Checkups and Glasses Distribution: Vision health is often overlooked, yet it is vital for daily functioning. Our eye checkups ensured that residents received the necessary attention for their visual health. We also distributed eye glasses to those in need, enhancing their quality of life. Clear vision is essential for productivity and overall well-being, making this service particularly impactful.
Distribution of Medication and Health Supplies
In addition to the health screenings, we provided essential medications and health supplies. Residents received drugs to manage various health conditions, ensuring they had access to necessary treatments. This support is crucial in communities where access to healthcare and medications can be limited, helping to manage and prevent chronic conditions.
Interview with the Erelu of Owu Kingdom
A highlight of the event was the interview with the Erelu of Owu Kingdom. She expressed her heartfelt appreciation for the health awareness program and the positive impact it had on the community. Her words of gratitude and prayers for PRA's continued success resonated with everyone present, underscoring the importance of such initiatives. Her endorsement reflects the value and effectiveness of our CSR efforts in addressing the community's health needs.
Gratitude to the King of Owu Kingdom
We extend our deepest gratitude to the King of Owu Kingdom for granting us the opportunity to use the palace hall for our event. His support and hospitality played a crucial role in the success of our health awareness campaign. The King's involvement highlights the importance of community leadership in fostering and supporting health initiatives.
Conclusion
Our annual CSR event in Owu Kingdom was a resounding success. By offering vital health services and promoting health awareness, we made a tangible difference in the lives of community members. At PRA, we are committed to continuing our efforts to support and uplift the communities we serve. Together, we can build a healthier and more prosperous future.
