Know Your Risk,

We are offering a free Fasting Blood Sugar test and distributing awareness leaflets from 14 Nov to 18 Nov 2023. You need to come fasting for 10 hours for this test, so please book a morning appointment by calling 04 3582020.

We also want to urge men to speak to someone if they are feeling stressed, whether it be a friend, family member, colleague, or one of our doctors so that their mental health improves. If it is a serious matter, we urge you to seek professional help.
