Swedish doctors hit The Gambia for a health party at TANGO's office last Monday. These medical experts came all the way from Kungälv Hospital to help locals learn about serious health problems like diabetes, stomach issues, high blood pressure, and eye troubles. They checked people for free and taught everyone how they could spot these problems early and live healthier lives. The doctors shared their knowledge with local medical staff and regular people who showed up ready to learn and ask questions. Everyone talked openly about the health challenges facing the country.
Kids from nearby schools learned simple ways to stay healthy, and many adults had their blood pressure and sugar levels checked right there on the spot. The whole day focused on the World Health Day theme, "Healthy Beginnings, Hopeful Futures," which aims to give people power over their health. TANGO's boss, Ndey Sireng Bakurin, called the event super important for the entire nation. The doctors and locals formed connections that will help both sides improve healthcare going forward. The day showed what can happen when people from different countries team up to tackle health problems together.
