Chronic Diseases: The Urgency for Health Campaign
There is indeed great urgency for Health campaign.
Friends and fans, it’s with high sense of duty that Dexterity Health Portal identifies with the urgency for health campaign particular emphasis on food and nutrition.
Health Conditions Awareness – Chronic Diseases
Man is largely the product of his environment, but his health is determined by his lifestyle: the food he eats, his occupation, extra-curricula activities, exercise, rest periods, friends he keeps, and so on. The list is unending.
Here’s The Message
It is no more news that global mortality rate has been on the increase with greater percentage as a result of killer diseases otherwise called chronic diseases. They include cancer, heart-related diseases, arthritis, diabetes, stroke, fertility and prostate conditions, among others.
The spread of these diseases globally, unfortunately, does not respect race or geography. However the incident rate is higher in Sub-sahara Africa due to poverty and lack of information.
This information coming from this platform today is our show of responsibility in this great assignment of public enlightenment, because knowledge they say is power. It is better to be informed, you are deformed.
The aforementioned chronic diseases share one common attribute: they usually start slowly and build up in human body overtime, often in upwards of ten and more years without clear and obvious symptoms. These make them difficult to detect under standard laboratory test. By the time the laboratories detect them, they would have been at advanced stage. By this time, it would be difficult or late to cure. Hence they are branded ‘killer diseases’ .
The Good News
However there is good news! Our team during our outreach are always equipped well enough to diagnose these chronic health conditions even at their early stages.
