A Healthier You Starts with Tsoseletso Healthcare Clinic
Tsoseletso Healthcare Clinic is committed to delivering high-quality, patient-centred care with a strong emphasis on preventive health services. Their mission is to empower people to take control of their well-being through early detection and proactive health management.
A Health Risk Assessment (HRA) screening is a crucial preventive measure designed to identify risk factors for conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, anaemia and infections like HIV. Early detection allows for timely intervention, reducing complications and improving long-term health outcomes.
At Tsoseletso Healthcare Clinic, screenings are recommended from the age of 13. Puberty brings significant physiological changes, and makes early assessments essential in identifying potential health concerns. For instance, undiagnosed anaemia in teenagers can lead to fatigue, dizziness, poor concentration and weakened immunity, negatively impacting academic performance and overall well-being.

The frequency of screenings depends on age, risk factors and existing health conditions. While annual check-ups are advised for most people, those at higher risk or with pre-existing conditions should undergo screenings every six months. Delaying or skipping these assessments can lead to late diagnoses, making treatment more complex and increasing health risks.
Many health conditions, such as high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol, often remain asymptomatic until they reach advanced stages. Regular screenings can detect these issues early, preventing severe complications. Be mindful of symptoms like fatigue, dizziness, unexplained weight changes, frequent infections, vision disturbances and excessive thirst—these may indicate underlying health problems requiring immediate attention.
Health Risk Assessments play a vital role in managing critical health conditions. Detecting high blood pressure early allows for lifestyle adjustments and medication to reduce the risk of heart disease or stroke. Blood sugar tests help identify pre-diabetes or diabetes, enabling timely interventions. Cholesterol screenings support heart health through dietary modifications and medication, while early HIV diagnosis leads to prompt treatment, improving quality of life and reducing transmission risks.
At Tsoseletso Healthcare Clinic, Nurse Practitioner Keoweditse Moremedi conducts a comprehensive health evaluation, which includes a discussion of medical history and lifestyle, a physical examination, blood tests to assess sugar levels, cholesterol, anaemia and HIV (if required), and personalised counselling on results and next steps. Privacy and comfort are top priorities, especially for HIV testing.
The clinic provides confidential testing, private consulting rooms and a supportive, judgment-free environment. While fear of screenings can be a barrier, early detection empowers people to take control of their health. With the right care, most conditions can be effectively managed, and compassionate support is always available to address concerns.
Making proactive lifestyle choices can significantly lower health risks. A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains, regular physical activity, stress management, adequate sleep and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption all contribute to overall well-being. Staying up to date with health screenings further enhances long-term health.
