National campaign for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases
7 February 2018
The Ministry of Public Health, in cooperation with the National Committee for the Prevention of Cardiovascular Diseases and Yaduna Foundation, launched the National Campaign for the Early Detection of Cardiovascular Diseases through a press conference entitled "ما تنطروا، قلبكم ما بينطر!" The campaign runs from 7 February 2018 to 30 April 2018
The campaign targets Lebanese people aged 45 years and above. Primary health care centers will provide a package of early detection of the overall risk of cardiovascular diseases through free medical screening and examinations. Our Foundation will also play an important role in the reception of Lebanese women who have exceeded the overall risk of cardiovascular diseases (10%) to complete the screening and conduct the required tests free of charge. In addition, a team of doctors will carry out educational awareness campaigns in primary health care centers throughout Lebanon.
