The Madeira Youth Medical Association (AJEMed) is holding a health screening and awareness initiative in Porto Santo, as part of 'Health and Well-being Week'. The event, taking place in the Praça do Município, includes blood pressure, capillary glucose, and weight checks.
The aim is to bring these initiatives closer to the population, while also promoting healthy eating and combating loneliness among the elderly. Carolina Andrade, an AJEMed member, highlighted that this is the first time the association has brought this type of event to the island, with support from the Municipal Council and Porto Santo Line.
Concurrently, AJEMed is carrying out other health promotion activities in various locations across the island of Madeira.
