Promoting Health and Wellness: WUBAF Health Department at Mega Outreach 2025/2026

Promoting Health, Preventing Disease, and Ensuring a Clean Environment

The WUBAF Health Department plays a vital role in safeguarding the well-being of individuals and communities. Through health education, health screening services, and environmental sanitation activities, the department works to prevent disease, promote healthy lifestyles, and support early detection and timely care.

This article highlights the activities carried out during the 2025/2026 Mega Outreach Program held at Breman Asabiem in the Central Region, with health education and screening activities taking place on 30th December, 2025.

Health Education and Awareness

One of the core responsibilities of the Health Department is health education. During the outreach, community members were educated on common health conditions such as typhoid fever, hypertension, and Human Papillomavirus (HPV). The education sessions focused on the causes, signs and symptoms, prevention methods, and the importance of seeking early medical care. By empowering people with accurate health information, the department helps reduce preventable illnesses and improve overall health outcomes.

Health Screening and Early Detection

Health screening was a major activity of the outreach program. Services provided included blood pressure checks, blood sugar testing, malaria testing, typhoid infection screening, and general vital signs assessment. These screenings helped participants understand their health status and encouraged early medical intervention where necessary, thereby reducing complications and promoting a healthier community.

Environmental Health and Waste Management

A clean environment is essential for good health. The Health Department emphasized proper waste management by educating the community on separating solid and liquid waste, encouraging regular cleaning exercises, and promoting good sanitation practices. These measures help prevent the spread of communicable diseases and ensure a healthy living environment.

Collaboration and Community Service

The success of the outreach program was made possible through effective collaboration among the Health Department, Education Department, community leaders, health workers, volunteers, and members of the organization. This teamwork, dedication, and shared commitment to service were key in delivering effective health services to the community.

Conclusion

Through continuous health education, regular health screening, and effective environmental sanitation practices, the Health Department remains committed to promoting good health and preventing disease. The activities carried out during the 2025/2026 Mega Outreach Program at Breman Asabiem have contributed significantly to improving community health awareness and overall well-being.
