Last week, a large preventive health campaign was held in Odesa to celebrate World Health Day.

The event was organized with the support of the Odesa City Council and the local Health Center.

On this day, residents had the opportunity to undergo free comprehensive medical examinations at primary health care centers, diagnostic centers, and city hospitals. Family doctors and therapists provided consultations, and measurements of blood pressure, blood glucose levels, pulse, and ECG were conducted. If necessary, patients received electronic referrals for laboratory tests and consultations with specialists.

As a result of the campaign, 2536 residents of Odesa participated in the medical examinations. Additionally, with the assistance of the Kyiv District Administration, doctors from PHC №3 examined 55 individuals visiting the administrative building.
During the check-ups, 331 cases of high blood pressure and 200 cases of elevated blood glucose levels were detected. Following ECG examinations, 258 patients were referred to a cardiologist.

For patients requiring further examinations, doctors issued 1112 electronic referrals for laboratory tests and 640 for specialist consultations. All patients received medical consultations.

Health days allow for timely detection of health issues, raise awareness among Odesa residents about prevention and early diagnosis of diseases, and remind everyone of the importance of a healthy lifestyle.
