GOUTY ARTHRITIS – DR. HAKEEM OLAOSEBIKAN
As we move into 2026, many people are planning their finances, careers, and personal milestones. But in the race to build wealth and secure the future, one powerful truth is often forgotten: your greatest asset is your health. A strong body, clear mind, and stable well-being form the foundation for every dream you want to achieve. Without good health, even the best financial plans can collapse. Studies continue to show that people who invest in their physical and mental health enjoy higher productivity, better decision-making, longer life expectancy, and reduced medical costs later in life. Good health protects your income, your relationships, your energy, your purpose, and your future yet many people only pay attention to their health when something goes wrong. Global research shows that preventable diseases cost individuals and families billions each year in medications, hospital visits, and long-term care. But even worse, they cost people their dreams, opportunities, and time. ANCHORS DR MAYMUNAH YUSUF KADIRI Consultant Neuro-Psychiatrist DR. MARTINA AGBERIEN Public Health Physician
