World Hypertension Day: Pentecost Hospital, Madina Holds Free Screening for Madina Estate Community Members
In commemoration of World Hypertension Day, Pentecost Hospital, Madina organized a Free Hypertension Screening at Madina Estates, offering community members the opportunity to check their blood pressure and receive vital health education. This year’s theme, “Measure Your Blood Pressure Accurately, Control It, Live Longer,” highlights the global effort to raise awareness about hypertension—a silent but serious condition that often goes undetected until it causes significant health complications such as stroke, heart attack, or kidney failure. The essence of the screening was to encourage early detection and regular monitoring of blood pressure, especially in a time when lifestyle-related illnesses are on the rise. Many individuals live with undiagnosed high blood pressure, placing them at increased risk of chronic diseases. Through this initiative, Pentecost Hospital aims to bridge that gap by making healthcare more accessible and educating the public on the importance of prevention and management. The screening not only provided blood pressure checks but also offered personalized advice from healthcare professionals on lifestyle modifications, diet, exercise, and the importance of medication adherence for those already diagnosed. For the community members of Madina Estates, this exercise was more than a health check—it was a proactive step toward a healthier future. Initiatives like these empower individuals with knowledge and the means to take control of their health, ultimately leading to a stronger, healthier community.
Pentecost Hospital, Madina Marks Jaundice Awareness Month with Grand Celebration
As part of the nationwide campaign spearheaded by the Paediatric Society of Ghana, May has been designated as Jaundice Awareness Month, a critical period to highlight the dangers of neonatal jaundice and the need for swift medical intervention. On Tuesday, 27th May 2025, Pentecost Hospital, Madina celebrated the day in grand style with a focus on education and advocacy. This year’s theme, “From Awareness to Action: Promoting Timely Diagnosis & Treatment for All Jaundiced Newborns Across Ghana,” underscores the urgent need to move beyond recognition and toward immediate care. Neonatal jaundice, while common, can become life-threatening if not addressed quickly. During the event, nurses, doctors, and midwives took turns educating mothers, spouses, families, and friends on identifying the early signs of jaundice, such as yellowing of the eyes and skin, and emphasized the need to act without hesitation. The paediatric team strongly stressed that delays in treatment can result in irreversible harm, including brain damage or death. However, with early diagnosis and proper care, these outcomes are entirely preventable. The celebration served as a powerful reminder that awareness must lead to timely action. This initiative is a call to all—parents, caregivers, and healthcare professionals—to stay vigilant and act fast. Every moment counts in the fight against neonatal jaundice.
