A word from the Program Director
Hello, My name is Dr Alvine Siaka,
I am the Executive Director/Program Director at AHA. This Guide has a focus on
wellness rather than sickness. My purpose when putting together this guide was
to provide you with culturally adapted high quality information on protecting
your health particularly in relation to the prevention of preventable diseases.
Actually, a growing number of people are looking for better answers to their
health questions and information on preventable diseases and on chronic diseases
prevention. This guide will provide you information and help you build
skills necessary when it comes to reduce substance use, to stop using tobacco
products, to practice safe sex, to eat healthy foods, and to engage in regular
physical activity.
