Tracey Brotherton takes Kharka Limbu's blood pressure, watched by interpreter Chitra Thapa
KHARKA Limbu was among visitors to an NHS health bus on Oxford's Rose Hill estate on Saturday.
Qualified nurses were on hand to offer tests for blood pressure, diabetes, glucose and cholesterol and to measure men’s body mass index.
It was part of the monthly visits to the estate by the health bus and the weekend was concentrating on giving men a health ‘MoT’.
Mr Thapa, who is chairman of the Nepalese community in Oxford, said both his blood pressure and weight were a little on the high side.
He added: “It is very useful. Even for myself, I haven’t had checks for all these things like diabetes.”
