In contrast, delayed detection leads to late diagnosis, resulting in costly treatment, poor health outcomes, or even fatalities. I urge everyone to prioritize their health.&#8221; Dr. Atwine noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By emphasizing the importance of routine check-ups, Dr. Atwine aims to promote a culture of preventive healthcare, encouraging individuals to take charge of their health and seek medical attention before it&#8217;s too late.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Share your local news, scoops, and tips with us!
