EXECUTIVE SUMMARY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Nyasoso Health Campaign is an expanded awareness and sensitization campaign as an intervention and recommendation from our previous campaign carried out in Nyasoso last year August 2022. Nyasoso is a locality in Cameroon located 12km from the town of Tombel in Koupe-Manengouba division and the South-west Region. This Campaign was carried out in collaboration with the Nyasoso Youth Developmental Association and Cameroon Association of English Speaking Medical Students. It was a Three days campaign on kidney health The mean age of our participants was 46.66 \u00b1 15.13 with a minimum age of 11 and a maximum age of 85years, 46.429% (65\/140) of our participants were normal weight with 30.7% (43\/140) overweight and 23.57% (33\/140) obese. Following analysis with respect to blood pressure, it indicated that 21.898% (30\/137), 25.55% (35\/137) and 52.555% (72\/137) were hypertensive, pre-hypertensive and normal respectively. Finally our data indicated that we had a distribution of 26.6% (37\/129) as diabetics and 14.38% (20\/129) as pre-diabetics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Following our previous screening activity organized in the Nyasoso community upon invitation by the Nyasoso youths development association, we noticed that a huge number of the persons screened were either pre-hypertensive or hypertensive (45.8%(22\/48) presented as pre-hypertensive (120-139mmhg), 27.1% (13\/48) reported as stage 1 hypertensive (140-159mmhg), and 12.5% (6\/48) were stage 2 hypertensive (>= 160 mmhg)) with many not aware of their condition and for the few that were, only a handful were fully proper medication. Considering that the population screened with just a handful of the total population of the Nyasoso community, we believe that it is imperative that we conduct a secondary screening and sensitization campaign to identify other person at high risk of developing non communicable diseases and follow up already identified individuals to ensure proper management of their condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
education, community health screenings, and general consultation, dissemination of medications and health talks which ran from the 15th to the 18th of August 2023. The campaign was a massive success as we were able to reach-out to over 200+ participants consulted and given medications during screenings and sensitization with 142 successfully screened for diabetes, kidney function, hypertension and obesity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/h4>\n\n\n\n
