Nearly one-third of the 122 attendees at a recent Diabetes Awareness and Screening clinic hosted by AAR Hospital were identified with health conditions that require further medical evaluation, often without prior knowledge of their issues.

During the event on Saturday, August 24, screenings conducted by AAR Hospital revealed that 39 individuals needed additional medical tests, with 33 diagnosed as pre-diabetic or diabetic. These participants were offered the option to register for treatment at the Kiambu Road facility or any health centre of their choosing.
