On September 4th, White Sunday in the Wrocław County will come to Kobierzyce. NZOZ Twój Lekarz invites you to an eye examination conducted by the Center for Ophthalmology and Laser Therapy and the Early Diagnosis of Cardiovascular Diseases Program for people aged 35-65.

Other important preventive screenings include spirometry, physiotherapy, and Pap smears.* On-site consultations will also be available for those seeking medical advice from a dietitian and a specialist. Participants will also have the opportunity to participate in educational activities on breast and testicular self-examination using silicone manikins containing various-sized lumps, making it easier to identify any worrying changes. Specialists will demonstrate breathing exercises after COVID-19.

Due to low stocks of blood and its components, the Regional Blood Donation and Blood Treatment Center in Wrocław will also encourage blood donation at a mobile blood donation point.

Another preventive measure will be an opportunity to get vaccinated against COVID-19 and learn about the principles, including effective infection prevention, implemented by the District Sanitary and Epidemiological Station. 

Anyone planning to travel abroad in the near future will be able to quickly and efficiently obtain a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) and register as a potential bone marrow donor through the DKMS Foundation. Furthermore, specialists in gynecology and obstetrics will be able to learn everything about HPV prevention and cervical cancer prevention.

The following partners will also be available to the participants: the District Consumer Advocate, the District Family Support Center, the District Day Care Facility in Kąty Wrocławskie and the District Senior Club in Kąty Wrocławskie.

During the event, the Municipal Police Headquarters will set up a bicycle marking station and answer questions about threats and prevention at the recreation area.

There's probably no one who doesn't know the saying, "Prevention is better than cure." It's a theoretically obvious statement; we hear about it on the radio and television, read about it in newspapers and online, and our parents, friends, doctors, and even ourselves. Does my level of knowledge and awareness of various risk factors that can ultimately lead to illnesses encourage me to undergo preventive testing? So don't hesitate; you have a great opportunity to get various tests done. Take advantage of this opportunity, because it's not enough to take care of your health through daily activities; you also need to monitor it. This will take significantly less time than if the condition is advanced.

*Women willing to undergo a Pap smear are asked to register by calling 71 36-89-647 from Monday to Friday, 9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.

We cordially invite you.
