Prevention is modern medicine’s most powerful ‘weapon’. The Ministry of Health now implements the ‘PROLAMVANO’ program to protect public health. This initiative focuses on the early diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. Moreover, Eurodiagnosi actively participates as a leading diagnostic network. We offer you the chance to perform your exams using reliable, state-of-the-art equipment.
Why is prevention important?
Your heart is your body’s engine. Early diagnosis can prevent up to 80% of premature cardiovascular events. In addition, renal function links directly to heart health. This happens because hypertension and diabetes affect both organs at the same time. Consequently, the ‘PROLAMVANO’ program’s combined screening is the most valuable gift for yourself.
What is the Cardiovascular Risk Prevention and Management Program?
Το Εθνικό Πρόγραμμα για την πρόληψη και αντιμετώπιση των Καρδιαγγειακών Κινδύνων (cardio.gov.gr) στοχεύει στον εντοπισμό παραγόντων που ευθύνονται για σοβαρές παθήσεις, όπως η στεφανιαία νόσος, το εγκεφαλικό επεισόδιο και η νεφρική δυσλειτουργία..
It is an initiative that allows thousands of citizens to have access to free preventive screening, without any financial burden, with the aim of reducing morbidity and increasing life expectancy.
