Over 100 villagers from Ketei and Tovu on the island of Totoya gathered at Tovu Village this morning, eager to take part in a special community health outreach event.

The Eastern and Central Division medical team had arrived the day before, bringing free medical services to the Southern Lau Group as part of their ongoing community outreach tour.

Villagers from all walks of life, including families with young children and elderly relatives, gathered at the village center, where they were offered a range of health services.

These included free screenings for non-communicable diseases (NCDs), dental care, and tests for tuberculosis (TB) and HIV/AIDS.

For many, this event was a rare opportunity to access critical health services without the usual barriers.

The medical team, composed of doctors, nurses, and local health workers, worked closely with the community, providing personalized care and important health education.

Elderly villagers received home visits, ensuring that they, too, had access to vital medical attention.

Children were also screened for skin diseases and other health concerns, further ensuring that no one was left behind.

The day was more than just about healthcare—it was a celebration of community spirit, compassion, and the importance of looking out for one another.

As the villagers left with smiles and newfound knowledge, the event highlighted the power of unity and shared responsibility in promoting health and well-being.
