More than 200 residents, most of them women and children, benefited from the exercise.
Those diagnosed with minor health problems were provided with medication, while those with complicated health conditions were advised to visit hospitals for treatment.
Besides the screening, members of the community were educated on cholera, the responsible use of medicines and the need to visit the hospital when ill.
The exercise formed part of the company’s social investments planned for this year.
