Queens College teachers get free medical check-ups

In commemoration of World Teachers’ Day 2022, Queen’s College Old Girls Association (QCOGA) on Wednesday organised a series of events, including medical check-ups, to celebrate the school teachers.
The check-up, which was part of the activities to mark the school’s 95th anniversary, was held at the Theresa Chukwuma Hall of the school. It was facilitated by Paelon Memorial Hospital, a health organisation founded by one of the old students, Ngozi Onyia.
Ms Onyia finished from the school in 1975.
In her presentation at the celebration, Ms Onyia emphasised the well-being of teachers, noting that “the transformation of education begins with healthy teachers”.
While she encouraged the teachers to cultivate the habit of regular exercise, a balanced diet and proper hydration, she highlighted the leading causes of death which include: cardiovascular diseases like heart failure, stroke, and kidney disease, among others.
