On Thursday 7th November there
were some unusual activities at the new-look Afra Mall. World Heart Day was
being observed by Doctors who volunteered to offer a free health check up.
Shoppers got their BP measured, their height, weight and random blood sugar
measured and smokers got their breath-gas evaluated and received counselling. These
received positive response and was extended till 9
th November. On
the 7
th evening the venue was the Green Yard where more than hundred
people walked as a pledge to keep their heart healthy. World Heart Day in
Khartoum has been an initiative by Cardiac Surgeon Dr.Ahmed Elsayeed for the
last several years.
