The public has been urged to consistently screen and test for different diseases so that they could receive treatment on time.

Speaking at the Walk of Hope Diabetes Sponsored Walk in Molepolole on Saturday, former Botswana Musicians Union (BOMU) president Bafana Phempheretlhe Pheto urged the public to consult their healthcare provider at least once a year and test for various types of diseases. He said this would help early detection of various diseases such as Tuberculosis, HIV, diabetes and other chronic diseases. 

“A screening test is done to detect potential health disorders or diseases in people who do not have any symptoms of disease. The goal is early detection and lifestyle changes or surveillance, to reduce the risk of disease, or to detect it early enough to treat it most effectively. I do this once every year because I don’t believe in going to the clinic only when I am sick. This can help you treat whatever disease on time. As we all know, prevention is better than cure,” he advised.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
