We were pleased to participate in the Annual Charity Golf Day, held on Friday 26 September 2025 at Lusaka Golf Club and organised by Nomads Golf Club, Zambia. The event brought together 144 amateur golfers in support of improving the wellbeing of children with cancer and other life-threatening blood disorders through vital non-clinical support services.



Our team, Wema Tembo (Nurse), Kondwani Banda (Client Services) and Alzera Hussein (General Manager), contributed to the day by offering basic wellness checks to the golfers, including weight, height, waist circumference, BMI, Blood Pressure, Blood Glucose, and valuable information on preventative health screenings. The day was graced by the presence of Rudolph Mugabe, Vice President of Nomads Golf Club, and lawyer Dickson Jere, who also participated in both the golf event and wellness check.

We were thrilled to promote preventive health and helping mobilise resources to transform the lives of children living with cancer.

Note that our team can organise health screening services and customised Wellness Day directly to your workplace, making it easy for employees to participate.

🩸Anemia

💉Low red blood cell count, hemoglobin, or hematocrit

🔬Types: iron-deficiency anemia, vitamin B12 or folate deficiency anemia

🩸Bleeding Disorders

🩸Low platelet count (thrombocytopenia) can indicate problems with blood clotting

Note: CBC can suggest a bleeding disorder, but additional coagulation tests are often needed

🦠Infections

🧬High white blood cell (WBC) count usually indicates a bacterial infection

🩸Low WBC may point to viral infections or bone marrow issues

⏰Leukemia and Other Blood Cancers

🩸Abnormal white cell counts or presence of immature/abnormal cells

🌡May also show anemia or thrombocytopenia as a result of marrow infiltration

🔬Inflammatory Conditions

🩸May show elevated white blood cells or certain subtypes (like neutrophils or eosinophils)

🧬Immune System Disorders

👷‍♂️👷Healthy workers are proactive,🌾 HOW so?

✅ Understanding your team’s level of exposure to insecticides is the first STEP in preventing HARM🫶. By identifying the RISK category: HIGH, MODERATE, or LOW, you can take the right action at the right time.

⛏ Here’s your cheat-sheet for Risk-Based Monitoring:
🔹 High Risk – Frequent handling/mixing of insecticides ➡️ Test Monthly
🔹 Moderate Risk – Occasional exposure ➡️ Test Quarterly
🔹 Low Risk – Minimal contact ➡️ Test Bi-Annually

💡 This Month’s Health Spotlight: Protecting Our Farmers in Zambia 🇿🇲🌾

Everyone is Included-All People, All Places, All Ways, What does the Cholinesterase Test indicate?
Cholinesterase testing helps detect exposure to insecticides, especially organophosphates and carbamates commonly used in farming. These chemicals can affect the nervous system by blocking an important enzyme called acetylcholinesterase, leading to serious health problems. Leave the technical skills to us 🧐

👨🏾‍🌾👩🏾‍🌾 Why It Matters for Farmers and Agricultural Workers:
Daily contact with insecticides may put you at risk of toxic exposure—even if you don’t feel symptoms right away.
