Result

It was a successful day. The turnout was very impressive. We have over 50 nursing mothers with babies.

But we are amazed to know that.. among these 50 women present, one 1 women knew what gestational diabetes was!

We were satisfied with the level of knowledge shared through demonstration and with the assistance of the Doctor.

From the Q&A session we were happy to see that everybody was curious to know more and learn how to prevent this disease.

We plan another for visit on the 18th of March 2020 for a free diabetes screening for pregnant women.
