Dr. Patrick Camilo, a medical expert at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Kumasi, has emphasized the importance of regular medical checkups to prevent stroke, hypertension, and other related health issues. He highlighted that early detection of blood pressure levels is crucial in preventing stroke and cardiovascular diseases, which are responsible for roughly 20 percent of deaths in medical facilities worldwide.

Dr. Camilo shared these insights during an interview in Kumasi, conducted as part of a health awareness event focusing on the causes, prevention, and treatment of stroke. This event was organized in conjunction with the Men's Fellowship Week celebrations at the Mount Moriah Presbyterian Church in Adiebeba.
