Berjaya Praslin Resort Men’s Health Week

Men’s Health Week runs from 11th – 17th June 2018 The focus of the week was on men and diabetes. Apparently, men have a higher risk of getting this disease compared to women and male develops complications at a higher rate than in females. This shows that men are more likely to face amputation as a result of diabetes, more to suffer complications and more likely to die from diabetes. To commemorate the week, Berjaya Praslin Resort, in collaboration with the Baie Ste Anne Health Care Centre organised an awareness talk, Blood screening and Dental Health Care counselling for the Male staffs in the Resort.

The main objective of the talk was to bring awareness to health issues that affect men disproportionately and focuses on getting men to become aware of problems they may have or could develop and gain the courage to do something about it.
