A medical entity known as Compassionate Health and Wellness Clinic during the past weekend offered a one-day free treatment to residents living within the Signal Hill community.

Chief Executive Officer of the clinic, Waltona Cummings, who also doubles as a midwifery nurse pointed out that the rationale behind the one-day free medical treatment, is to give back to society as well as to give support to the needy.

According to her, fifty patients who went to the clinic received free treatment. “Our desire is to help create a healthy community which is why we gave the young and old the opportunity  to come for free check-ups and proffered advice for patients to continue to see the doctors in order to know their health status,” she furthered.

The CEO also revealed that apart from offering free medical treatment they also provided free medical education to patients who have gone through various check-ups adding that they again sensitized the community residents to know about the services they are rendering.

She further assured of their commitment to continue to support the Government’s agenda of creating a healthy environment.

Mrs. Claudius Cole ,an intensive care nurse, who contributed immensely during the one-day free treatment congratulated the CEO for such a timely intervention underscoring how such will help to expose the clinic as a way of giving back to the community where the clinic is located.

She said the patients were very grateful and appreciative of the free medical treatment stressing that one mistake that people often make is too seek medical advice from friends instead of consulting doctors.

Osman Munu , a pharmacist at Compassionate Health Wellness Clinic, applauded the process saying it will help to send a signal to others who did not make use of the opportunity. He confirmed giving out medicines to the patients saying they discovered that many of them have high blood pressure but were not doing regular checkups to know what they are supposed to be doing in terms of treatment.

Pa Alimamy Kamara, who is a resident of the Signal Hill community, on behalf of the patients, thanked the CEO for such a timely intervention and called on others who are outside the community to come for checkups in order to ensure that their good health is enhanced.
