On Saturday, 17 December 2016, Kaya Childcare held our very first paediatric health screening for 0 to 5 year old children of the Kayayo women at Madina, Accra. We successfully screened 87 kids aged 0 to 3, and had about 20 mothers still waiting in line when it got dark.
The purpose of the pediatric health screening was to set a baseline health record of the kids we will have in our center. It fulfills a critical aspect of holistic early childhood development, that is good health.
The event kicked off a little over 2pm with help from a pediatrician, a dentist, and two nurses. As well as volunteers from Ashesi University and University of Ghana Legon who helped the medics in registration and taking vitals of the kids. They also managed a play area with face painting, colouring and music to keep waiting mothers and kids engaged.

Partner with us for the next health screening.
