The Ninh Binh Lung Hospital on April 16 began to provide free health checkups for patients who are diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma and tuberculosis as well as COVID-19 patients after recovery in all communes and towns in the province.
Lasting until the end of April, the progamme is being carried out in the districts of Yen Khanh, Kim Son, Nho Quan and others, respectively.
Local people who registered for free health checkups will have their lungs examined, X-ray screened and have rapid diagnostic tests for tuberculosis. They will be offered free medical consultancy and medicines.
As scheduled, the programme will be carried out in all communes of the whole province in a bid to early detect health risks in the community, especially for those with post-COVID-19 symptoms, thus improving local people's heath.
