A mini health check-up was carried out in Mahe Ramadhan 1431 (Sept 2010) at the KSIJ DSM Mosque for both gents and ladies. This was a joint effort between the Central Health Board (CHB) of the Federation of KSIJ Africa and Central Medical Board (CMB) of the KSIJ Dar-es-Salaam, with assistance by JAMSA.

This program is running in its sixth year with the aim of screening participants and making them aware of the risk factors and any lifestyle related morbidity that may arise, as well as provide counsel on lifestyle and disease management.

The following parameters were gathered for each participant:
• Body Mass Index (BMI)
• Blood Pressure
• Random Blood Glucose Level

After which, a brief consultation with the available doctors was sought by each participant, and if any risk factors are found, these are communicated to the participant with an advice, and in some cases, participants area advise to undergo further investigations.

Information of each participant was recorded in specifically designed registration cum consultation forms, which were then filed as part of procedure for potential follow with high risk patients.
