The importance of medical screening: Doctors' message for the health of Romanians
Medical prevention remains one of the most important tools for maintaining public health, according to experts in the Romanian medical system. Recently, Dr. Cristina Berteanu, medical director at Memorial Romania, emphasized the need for a proactive approach to healthcare.
According to the doctor, screening tests play an essential role in the early detection of various conditions. Identifying health problems at an incipient stage allows for the application of much more effective treatments and significantly increases the chances of recovery for patients.
Currently, many serious diseases can be managed or even cured if they are discovered in time through periodic check-ups. However, many Romanians continue to postpone doctor visits or routine check-ups, seeking help from specialists only when symptoms become visible and painful.
Specialists recommend properly informing the population about the types of screening needed based on age and personal medical history. Medical education and access to clear information are fundamental steps to changing the current mindset and focusing on prevention instead of late treatment.
In conclusion, adopting a lifestyle that includes regular medical check-ups can prevent long-term complications. The medical community's message is clear: investing in one's own health through prevention is the surest path to a long and balanced life.
