The Office of the Public Solicitor (OPS) recently held a Health Awareness and Medical Check-Up Session on the 28 October 2026 facilitated by Dr. Serah Mkhail of Vila Central Hospital. The session focused on promoting healthy lifestyles and raising awareness about common health conditions affecting many people today.
During her presentation on wellbeing, Dr. Serah outlined several major health concerns that contribute to illness, including Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Obesity, High Cholesterol, Heart Disease, and Kidney Failure. She emphasized the importance of prevention through healthy living, regular health monitoring, and making informed lifestyle choices.
As part of the program, Dr. Serah conducted medical check-ups for OPS staff members who attended the session. The health assessments provided staff with an opportunity to better understand their current health status and identify any potential health risks that may require further attention.
Dr. Serah commended the OPS staff for taking the time to participate in the awareness session and encouraged everyone to make their health a priority. She stressed the importance of being mindful of daily meals by maintaining a balanced diet and reducing foods that may contribute to chronic illnesses.
In addition, Dr. Serah recommended regular physical activity and daily muscle movement to help strengthen the body, improve overall fitness, and support long-term health and wellbeing.
The session was well received by staff and served as an important reminder that good health is essential for both personal wellbeing and workplace productivity. OPS extends its sincere appreciation to Dr. Serah and Vila Central Hospital for their commitment to staff health and wellness.
To continue supporting healthy lifestyles among staff, Dr. Serah is expected to revisit the Office of the Public Solicitor in Vila in six months' time for a follow-up health awareness session and medical check-up program.
"Good health is our greatest asset. By making positive choices today, we can prevent many health challenges tomorrow." - Dr. Serah Mkhail.
