The DDA 2025 Free Surgeries Programme was a major success.

✔️ Hundreds screened
✔️ Over a hundred beneficiaries treated
✔️ Lives changed through access to quality care

This impact would not have been possible without the dedication and selfless service of our volunteer doctors, nurses, and healthcare professionals who gave their time, skills, and hearts to this initiative.

Thank you for making hope and healing possible.

As we celebrate what we achieved together, we are already looking ahead with optimism to the 2026 Free Surgeries Programme, to reach even more people and save more lives.

As the year comes to an end, it’s the perfect time to check in on your health, before the celebrations wind down and a new year begins.

An end-of-year checkup helps you:
✔️ Detect health issues early
✔️ Review ongoing conditions
✔️ Plan for a healthier year ahead

Recommended checkups to do before year-end:

🔹 Blood Pressure Check – detect or monitor hypertension

🔹 Blood Sugar Test – screen for diabetes or pre-diabetes

🔹 Cholesterol & Lipid Profile – assess heart health

🔹 Full Blood Count (FBC) – check for infections, anaemia, and general wellbeing

🔹 Liver & Kidney Function Tests – especially important after festive eating and medication use

🔹 Weight & BMI Assessment – understand your health baseline

🔹 Women’s Health Checks – breast exam, cervical screening (Pap smear)

🔹 Men’s Health Checks – prostate screening (as advised by your doctor)

🔹 Children’s Health Review – growth, development, and immunisation status

Don’t wait for symptoms.
Many conditions are silent in the early stages. A simple checkup can make a big difference.

At Pleasant Medical Centre, our team is ready to guide you through the right tests based on your age and health needs.

Visit PMC or call to book your end-of-year checkup today.

Staying Hydrated During the Harmattan 💧

The harmattan season may feel cool and dry, but your body loses water faster than you think. Dehydration during this period can lead to headaches, dry skin, fatigue, constipation, and even dizziness.

Here’s how to stay properly hydrated this harmattan:

• Drink water regularly – Don’t wait until you’re thirsty. Aim for small sips throughout the day.

• Warm fluids count – Herbal teas, warm water, and light soups help hydrate without making you feel cold.

• Limit dehydrating drinks – Reduce alcohol, excess coffee, and sugary drinks; they make you lose more water.

• Eat water-rich foods – Oranges, watermelon, cucumber, garden eggs, soups, and stews help boost fluid intake.

• Protect your skin and lips – Dry skin is a sign of dehydration. Use moisturizers and lip balm, and drink more water.

• Children and the elderly need extra care – They dehydrate faster. Remind them to drink water often.

Remember: If your urine is dark yellow, your body is asking for water.

At Pleasant Medical Centre, we care about your health in every season. If you’re experiencing frequent headaches, weakness, or extreme dryness this harmattan, visit us for a check-up.

At Pleasant Medical Centre, we believe the best healthcare starts before you fall sick. Here are simple preventive health tips to keep you and your family healthy all year round:

🍱 Eat Right
Fill your plate with fruits, veggies, whole grains, and plenty of water. Good nutrition = strong immunity.

🏃🏾‍♂️ Move Your Body
Just 30 minutes of walking a day can boost your heart health and reduce stress.

🧼 Wash Hands Regularly
A simple habit that prevents many infections, especially for kids!

👩🏾‍⚕️ Do Your Routine Check-Ups
Don’t wait for symptoms. Early detection saves lives. Visit PMC for your annual screenings.

💉 Stay Up to Date on Vaccines
Protect yourself and your loved ones — especially children and the elderly.

🛌 Rest Well
Your body needs sleep to repair, fight illness, and stay sharp.

🥛 Stay Hydrated
Especially in hot weather! Water helps your organs function well and reduces fatigue.

Feeling Stressed or Anxious?

Life can get overwhelming: work, family, school, deadlines… it adds up. But small, consistent habits can help you manage stress and protect your health.

Here’s what you can start doing today:

1. Get Enough Rest
Your body and mind recover when you sleep. Aim for 7–9 hours. Create a bedtime routine: reduce screen time, dim the lights, and allow yourself to slow down.

2. Move Your Body
Exercise releases “feel-good” hormones. You don’t need a gym. Try a walk, home stretching, dancing, skipping, or a quick 10–15 minute routine. Just move.

3. Talk to Someone
Don’t keep everything inside. Share how you feel with a friend, family member, or trained professional. Seeking help is strength, not weakness.

4. Take Small Breaks
Pause during the day, breathe, hydrate, and reset.

Your mental health matters.
Pleasant Medical Centre is here to support you. Reach out to us today.

When was the last time you checked in on your family’s overall health?

Life gets busy, but nothing is more important than making sure the people you love are healthy, protected, and supported.

That’s why every family should review a Family Health Checklist regularly. It helps you stay proactive, catch potential issues early, and build long-term habits that keep everyone thriving.

✔️ Are vaccinations up to date?
✔️ Are chronic conditions being monitored?
✔️ Are kids hitting their developmental milestones?
✔️ Are annual checkups scheduled?
✔️ Are nutrition, mental health, and lifestyle needs being supported?

A simple review can make a huge difference.

At PMC, families get comprehensive healthcare under one trusted roof: Preventive care, diagnostics, pediatric support, women’s health, and chronic disease management.

Whether it’s routine checkups or specialized care, PMC ensures your family receives the attention and guidance they deserve.

Your family’s health is your greatest investment. Start with the checklist—and let PMC be your partner in keeping your loved ones healthy, safe, and strong.
