PREVENT LYME DISEASE! TICK-BORNE DISEASE PREVENTION IN WROCŁAW COUNTY

NZOZ Twój Lekarz is launching a free health policy programme for the prevention of tick-borne diseases (Lyme disease) for the years 2023–2025 for residents of the Wrocław District

Why is it worth paying attention to Lyme disease?

Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne disease in Europe and North America. We are seeing a steady increase in cases in Poland. Although Lyme disease is relatively easy to treat in the early stages, a delay in diagnosing it can result in serious complications, such as neurological problems, joint or cardiological problems.

How to become a participant in the program?

If you are a resident of Wrocław County, work in the agriculture or forestry sector or are exposed to contact with ticks (e.g. you were bitten but did not undergo testing) – report it!

Benefits of participating in the program:

– possibility of diagnostic and therapeutic consultation, 

– access to diagnostic tests for Lyme disease,

– if necessary, referral to an infectious disease specialist,

– access to educational materials on the prevention of tick-borne diseases.

How to join the program?

– by phone: 71 311 12 36 ext. 03

Take care of your health and prevent Lyme disease now!

The program is financed from the budget of Wrocław County.
