 By Ebele Egoh :

 Mr. Joseph Achebe, a Radiographer at Comprehensive Health Center, Awkuzu has emphasized the importance of regular health check-ups to monitor the viability of organs, tissues, and bones. 

 In an interview at his office, Achebe explained that radiography plays a vital role in diagnosing and treating various diseases and injuries. 

 “Our job is to capture images of internal structures to assess the presence or absence of disease, foreign objects, structural damage, or anomalies.” 

 Achebe advised individuals experiencing symptoms such as chest pains, coughs, waist pains, back pains, or shoulder pains to undergo X-rays to determine the condition of their problems before complications arise.

 He stressed that regular check-ups are essential, even for those feeling normal, as they enable doctors to provide timely and effective treatment, reducing costs and damage to organs. 

 He further explained that Comprehensive Health Center, Awkuzu has state-of-the-art equipment, including Direct Digital X-ray machines, CT scans, MRI, ultrasound, and mammograms. 

 Achebe noted that early detection and prevention are critical in averting complications and death, emphasizing the importance of regular breast cancer screenings using mammograms.
