Blood pressure and sugar checks for elders in Byakabanda
Four blood pressure machines and four glucometers, so the elder bench at every outreach day never has a queue.
The need
At our June outreach in Byakabanda, the longest queue of the day was at the elder bench. We had one blood pressure machine for more than a hundred grandparents.
Four machines and four glucometers will let us run two elder benches at every outreach day, and lend a set to the Byakabanda Center for home visits between outreach days.
Every reading is written on a small card the person keeps, so the next nurse can see the history.
