Features
Health centers are created so that healthy people can monitor the state of their body and not bring it to a clear illness.
Examination of patients in the CH is divided into several stages:
- registration of personal data;
- clarification using electronic equipment of a number of indicators:
- blood cholesterol and glucose;
- blood nicotine level;
- heart work;
- respiratory system work;
- state of blood vessels;
- amount of body fat;
- blood pressure.
These indicators are related to the weight, height, gender and activity of the patient.
Thus, a picture appears reflecting the state of health, and subtle moments in the work of the body are revealed, which in the future can lead to disruption of the functions of one or another organ.
If necessary, conduct additional research:
- determine the ratio of water, fat and muscles in the body;
- do breath analysis;
- assess hemoglobin oxygen saturation;
- measure the pulse and heart rate.
A full examination takes about 35-40 minutes. According to the results of the examination, a person receives a “Healthy Lifestyle Card” along with recommendations for the prevention of diseases that take into account the individual characteristics of a particular person. All information is in the database of the center, and the next time you visit it, you can see the dynamics of the state.
Specialists working in the field are able to propose preventive measures, attend suitable health-improving courses or exercise therapy rooms.
If a specialist has a suspicion of any disease, then he advises you to consult a local doctor.
For Russia, a program to maintain public health is new. Not every city can still find a health center. Reviews on the Internet suggest that in some places these institutions are only in their infancy, that is, they lack the necessary equipment, specialists, and educational activities, etc., have not yet been properly organized.
But active citizens have the opportunity to accelerate this process for the benefit of their fellow countrymen through requesting for health centers to the appropriate authorities with the help of local
Public Councils or directly. The state takes care of the health of the people, in the power of every citizen to support this program and help its implementation on the ground.
