Free health screenings will be available at the King Edward VII Memorial Hospital for the next two Wednesdays as part of Healthy Heart Month.

From 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Wednesday, February 10, and February 24, nurses will be available in KEMH's lobby to provide the screenings which include: blood pressure, blood sugar, waist circumference and body mass index.

Myrian Balitian-Dill, the Cardiac Care Nurse at KEMH encouraged the public to utilise this chance as it might provide them with warning signs.

She added: "Knowing your risk for heart disease can give an early warning, giving you time and reduce the likelihood of a cardiac incident. Understanding these vital statistics might save your life."
