Health: Screening 24 Million for Chronic Diseases
The Ministry of Health and Population has launched a national initiative for early detection of chronic diseases and kidney ailments. Since September 2021, more than 24 million citizens have been screened through 3,601 primary care units across all governorates. The initiative targets individuals over 40 years old, as well as young people aged 18 and above who have risk factors or a medical history, aiming for early diagnosis and providing free treatment and monthly medications to affected cases. Cases requiring specialized intervention are referred to hospitals at the state's expense. The initiative is based on the latest health guidelines in collaboration with the World Health Organization and emphasizes the importance of early detection to prevent complications.
