Dear colleagues,
This month, KNH launched the Staff Wellness Program. This Program aims to ensure the Hospital employees remain healthy and productive for better service delivery. The offices are located at the ACU office, KNH Hostel ground floor, opposite the Government Chemist. To kick start the program, there will be free Cervical Cancer screening, Physical health check-up, vision screening, dental screening, psychological/emotional health check-up and nutritional counseling.
Kindly note that these services will be applicable upon entry into service, during the period of service (through a routine health checkup) and before exit of service at the Hospital. The requirements are staff ID or KNH clinic attendance card. Kindly make use of this Program since it is beneficial to you and your family.
All the Newslines and Newsletters can be accessed online on: https://bit.ly/3uQGCcI
