Senior medical practitioner who doubles as the Chief Executive Officer of Prescott Medical Center — one of the most outstanding private health facilities on the African continent, Jefferson Asare Danquah has emphasized that Ghanaians must see regular medical check up as a very important thing as they strive hard day and nights to acquire properties and live a good life.
It is said that the greatest wealth in this world is health. Many people do not take this saying seriously as they are always chasing material things. “What sense does it make to acquire all the great material things in the world and when it’s time to enjoy, your health fails you”

He believes this does not only affect the individuals but also affects the whole nation as far as the productivity is concerned. A country with unhealthy workforce should be worried about its productivity and growth.
It is really sad to see or hear people jubilating because for many years, the my have never visited the hospital for treatment or check ups which the health practitioner describes as a very appalling behavior.

When health check up is prioritized, doctors are able to know and give guidance on medical history, family’s history of disease and lifestyle, including diet, weight, physical activity, alcohol use and others.
