MEMBERS of the public turned out in their numbers yesterday at the Robb and Hincks Streets offices of the Guyana & Trinidad Mutual (GTM) Group of Insurance Companies in Georgetown, to benefit from a number of free health services offered by a health fair spearheaded by the GTM, in collaboration with the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC).

Promoting health and wellness among the general populace is on the GTM list of priorities, and the one-day fair provided opportunity to a number of people to access check-ups on their blood glucose levels, and to avail themselves of breast examination, HIV testing, body mass index, blood pressure testing, diabetic foot care, eye examination, hand hygiene, and occupational health and safety tips.

Assistant Director of Nursing Services at the GPHC, Mr Owen John, said that, for the past two years, this health fair drew members of the public from all age groups, as well as staff of the GTM.
