Professor Wiafe Akenteng Advocates Annual Medical Checkups for Ghanaians

Professor Wiafe Akenteng has urged Ghanaians to undergo annual medical tests to detect health issues early. He highlighted the surprise element of undiagnosed sicknesses and focused on prevalent diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and Hepatitis B. His recent health screening event aimed to promote health awareness and natural healing.

Professor Wiafe Akenteng, a leading herbal practitioner in Ghana, has emphasized the necessity for individuals to undergo comprehensive medical tests at least once a year. This practice aids in early detection of potential health issues, as many individuals remain unaware of existing health conditions until they escalate.

He stated, “There are many people who are sick and do not even know it. So, in order for doctors to diagnose them and ensure that these do not spread or become worse, that is why people must have regular checkups.” The professor underscored the importance of testing for various diseases such as prostate issues, syphilis, typhoid, malaria, HIV, and Hepatitis B, which the FDA has approved medications to treat.

During an Independence Day health screening event in Santa Maria, organized for hundreds of attendees, Professor Akenteng articulated his commitment to promoting health awareness. He remarked that prevalent diseases in Ghana today include hypertension and diabetes, with Hepatitis B and HIV posing significant health threats.

The event not only provided free medical screenings but also distributed food and forest fruits while educating participants on natural healing practices. This initiative was designed to reflect the celebrations of Ghana Month, aiming to foster a greater understanding of health and well-being among citizens.

In conclusion, Professor Wiafe Akenteng underscores the critical importance of annual medical checkups to facilitate early disease detection and management. His advocacy for regular testing aims to combat prevalent health issues in Ghana, emphasizing the need for public awareness and education in the spirit of national health initiatives during Ghana Month.
