During this Pandemic, we have heard of the term," underlying factors" which put a lot of people mostly blacks and brown people at a higher risk of dying from Covid-19 infection. Checking your blood pressure, and blood sugar become a necessity for survival. Those with the underlying issues are more prone to dying if they get infected with the virus. Therefore, we as a concerned not-for-profit organization based in New York City, have taken steps in educating people on the importance of health screening, and personal hygiene during this pandemic era.

It is an undeniable fact that 2020 was a challenging year because many people both young and old lost their loved ones to Covid-19.

Nka Ima Ndito Nsit Atai Ke North America Inc. sympathized with such families. In order for us to put our foot where our mouth is, we stepped out of our comfort zone to educate our neighbors and friends on the importance of self-checking their blood pressure in the absence of a Nurse or Doctor. It is a task that Nka Ima will continue to do to remind people about the "silent killer" high blood pressure.
