Health Ministry shifts to prevention and early detection
The Ministry of Health launched an initiative for early detection of chronic diseases, targeting the screening of over 22 million citizens since September 2021. The goal is to shift from treating illnesses after symptoms appear to prevention and early management before complications arise. The free screenings, conducted through more than 5,400 primary care units, include tests for conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and kidney diseases. Emphasis is placed on citizens over 40 years old, with screenings also available for those over 18 who have risk factors like smoking or a family history of these conditions. The program aims to reduce treatment costs and ease pressure on hospitals through early diagnosis and a decrease in complications.
