On June 28, the U.S. Ambassador and U.S. Embassy staff members sponsored a highly successful Health Fair in Keren in partnership with the Ministry of Health, local medical care providers and local city and zoba administrators. At the event, Keren medical and health professionals provided free and voluntary HIV/AIDS testing, hemoglobin testing, diabetes testing, women’s/children’s health screening, and vision/hearing testing. Over 600 participants came from several different regions to this event, thanks to the excellent advertising and logistical support of Keren’s local administrators.
