For her part, Mrs. Eunice Asomaning, a certified nurse at the Mamprobi Hospital admonished Ghanaians to practice good living.
According to her, every Ghanaian should seek quick medical attention when symptoms detected.
“We also wait for the sickness to reach the highest peak before we go to the hospital and which is not good. So once in a while let’s check our systems and visit the hospital occasionally,” she said.
Speaking to some participants, the head teacher at the Mamprobi South 3 basic school, Mr. Ebenezer Nartey who benefited from the exercise admonished the Mamprobi Hospital and the Mega life Sciences limited for such a collaboration.
