Dozens of people stood in the center of the capital in front of a mobile pulmonary radiology center to check their lung health for free. The measure was organized by the Institute of Phthisiopneumology on the occasion of the World Tuberculosis Day. The attention of passers-by was also attracted by a flash-mob organized by medical students.
After the dance, the young people spoke to the passers-by about the symptoms of tuberculosis and offered their children personal hygiene items.
"I think they do not all have the opportunity, for example, in the district to pass control, I hear it's all paid, but it's free and it's very good and I say a great thank you to the Ministry of Health."
"I wanted to pass the check because it's a little difficult to see in the district and because I saw it was free and it's not like I decided to see my health."
Zinaida, for three weeks now, has a dry, headache and headache that prevents her from sleeping, and the treatment she follows is of no use to her. That's why the woman came to the mobile radiography center for a profound medical investigation.
"I decided to come in because I've been sick for three weeks now." I walked past the bus on which the inscription was on, and I decided to come in because it's harder to get to the doctor and get you started. I do not miss the chance. "
One year after the launch of the "Doctor for You" project through the villages of Moldova, several people with lung disease were diagnosed at the early stage.
"We have also detected active tuberculosis and lung cancer and other pathologies, so this method is effective, this screening method is beneficial for the entire population of the republic, especially for those population groups that make up the so-called" risk groups " said Head of Diagnostic Service, Nicolae Nalivaico.
Moldova is in the top 30 countries of the world in terms of tuberculosis patients reported to one thousand inhabitants. The good news is that their number is steadily decreasing.
"The number of patients is decreasing. This is explained by the fact that work is being done very much on patient information and, last but not least, due to the effort of medical care for the detection, treatment of patients", said Aliona David, a phthisopneumologist.
Currently, as part of the "Doctor for You" campaign, doctors are conducting lung investigations across the country with the help of two mobile screenings.
