Free health screening campaign for Greek Cypriot refugee settlements in Larnaka
The Mobile Clinic of the Medical School, in collaboration with the Municipality of Larnaka, the Pancyprian Refugee Association (PEP), and the Mobile Unit of the Dental Services of the Ministry of Health, are organizing a campaign to offer free health screenings to residents of Greek-Cypriot refugee settlements in the Municipality of Larnaka.
The campaign, running over the next two months, aims to both support the residents of refugee settlements as well as to give medical students the opportunity to contribute to public health under the supervision of clinical faculty.
The screenings will include blood pressure, glucose, and spirometry measurements. Furthermore, the Mobile Unit of the Dental Services will conduct dental examinations on 12 October and 9 November, while the University of Nicosia Medical School will perform electrocardiograms (ECGs) on 16 November.
A total of four events have been scheduled, which will take place as follows:
Sunday, 12 October: Tsiakileros and Kokkines (Church of St. Eleftherios)
Sunday, 26 October: Agioi Anargyroi (Church of St. Thekla)
Sunday, 9 November: Makarios III and Kamares (Church of Apostle Barnabas)
Sunday, 16 November: Voroklini (Church of Apostle Andreas)
This initiative forms part of the Medical School’s ongoing commitment to social responsibility and community outreach.
