Programe gratuite de screening pentru colesterol și tensiune arterială, propuse de Comisia Europeană

The European Commission proposes free screening programs for cholesterol and blood pressure to encourage regular health checks, especially for high-risk individuals. Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in the EU, with 1.7 million fatalities annually. The 'Safe Hearts' plan aims to reduce premature cardiovascular deaths by 25% by 2035, promoting wider access to screenings and targeting vulnerable groups. Diabetes, often undiagnosed, is also a focus, as it poses risks for various health issues. Regular health checks are essential for everyone, even those without symptoms, to maintain healthy levels and prevent diseases.
