Men in TT are at risk of having prostate cancer and lung cancer. The Ministry of Health has taken on the issue of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and yesterday marked a revolution of how TT’s health sector treated with NCDs (diseases that are not easily transmitted from one person to another) especially prostate cancer in men.
This was one of several messages given by Minister of Health Terrence Deyalsingh at the Men’s Wellness Clinic hosted by the North Central Regional Health Authority (NCRHA) yesterday at the Colposcopy Centre, Mt Hope Women’s Hospital, Champs Fleurs. NCRHA staff members were greeted by a large number of men as the clinic was opened at 9 am.
"In TT we have an Indo- and Afro-based population. Afro-Trinidadian males are more prone to prostate cancer and we recently had a team from Palm Springs and what we found was that for a small amount of African males there is a particularly aggressive form of prostate cancer,” said Deyalsingh as he addressed the media.
