Healthy Pupil

Health screening for children "Healthy Pupil"

There is nothing more important for parents than the health of their children. In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, we often lack the time to plan prevention appointments, and we take our kids to a doctor only when some complaints appear. We ignore many symptoms, believing they are natural at this stage of the child’s growth.

When our child has a tummy-ache, we believe s/he eats too many sweets. When s/he complains of aching legs, we boil it down to his/her quick growth. And when our child is “chubby”, we are sure s/he will grow out of it.

However, it is not always as we think it to be. These complaints may be the symptoms of many serious diseases. Make sure your child is healthy. Book the “Healthy Pupil” Medical Check-Up.

The Medical Check-Up for Children is:

• offered for children aged between 6 to 18 years,

• focused on prevention,

• designed to ensure early diagnosis of civilisation diseases,

• intended to identify faulty posture and inappropriate eating habits.

The product is also recommended for parents who:

• want to make sure that their children develop in the right way,

• wish to obtain an opinion on their children’s health and find out what can be done to reduce the risk of diseases in their children for the future.

Remember: Ensure that your child undergoes a comprehensive medical check-up at least once a year, because your child’s health is our priority.

For your convenience, the provision of services is coordinated - you can have all the tests and consultations performed during just two appointments in the Medicover Centre.
