Nearly 97% of Children in Russia Undergo Annual Medical Check-ups
Published
The Ministry of Health of Russia reported that 26 million children aged 0 to 17 inclusive undergo annual preventive medical check-ups. This figure corresponds to approximately 97 percent of all children in the country.
Preventive check-ups help doctors notice illnesses and health problems in time. During an examination, paediatricians check a child's growth and weight, hearing, vision, and the functioning of internal organs. Such checks are important for children of any age, from infants to teenagers.
According to the ministry, the high coverage of check-ups shows that parents and medical organisations are doing their job. Specialists believe that regular check-ups help reduce the risk of serious diseases and make it possible to begin treatment at an early stage.
Parents are advised to keep track of the dates of medical check-ups and not to miss them, even if the child feels healthy. An appointment for a check-up can be made at the polyclinic at the place of residence.
