The Lions Club of Antigua celebrated another successful year of its flagship annual prostate screening exercise.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The event was aimed at carrying out free prostate examinations on men, 40 years and older. They set out with a target of testing 1,000 men but they managed to test 976 men instead.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
According to Jacintha Pringle, Chairperson of the Health Committee for the Lions Club of Antigua, the event had a cranky start, but at the end of the day, it was recorded a success.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
She expressed gratitude to the Antigua and Barbuda Social Security Scheme, MBS, other sponsors, the thousands of volunteers and club members.<\/div>\n
