Vithas hospitals in Andalusia join together with special activities and programs for World Health Day

In light of the celebration yesterday, April 7th, of World Health Day, an event established by the United Nations to commemorate the founding of the WHO constitution, hospitals Vithas Almería, Vithas Granada, Vithas Málaga, Vithas Sevilla, and Vithas Xanit Internacional conducted various preventive and health promotion activities aimed at patients and the public.

Thus, Hospital Vithas Almería offered a day of free health check-ups which included blood pressure measurements and blood glucose controls, among other basic tests. To facilitate public participation, the hospital set up a tent at the entrance of the outpatient clinic, where healthcare personnel attended to all individuals wishing to undergo these tests.

Israel González, Director of Nursing at Hospital Vithas Almería, emphasized the significance of such initiatives and the center's commitment to prevention and the promotion of healthy lifestyle habits. "With actions like these, we want to bring the importance of self-care to the public and promote the early detection of potential health issues," he stated.

Meanwhile, Hospital Vithas Málaga hosted prevention days yesterday morning open to all citizens, which included various awareness-raising activities in some of its main medical units. Additionally, the hospital screens displayed various preventive tips to patients visiting the center during the week of April 6 to 10.

According to Dr. Estela Díaz Sánchez, medical director of Vithas Málaga, "these are initiatives that aim to sensitize the public about the importance of self-care and the early detection of certain diseases, bringing health closer to the citizens and promoting habits that improve their quality of life."

As part of the commemoration, Hospital Vithas Granada also celebrated a prevention day that included free blood pressure measurements and blood glucose controls. These simple yet fundamental actions were complemented with a special radio program as part of the 10th anniversary events of the Granada hospital, broadcast live from the center itself. All these are part of its strategy focused on providing patients with excellent and close attention, emphasizing prevention and health education.

According to Juan Manuel Gámez, Director of Nursing at Vithas Granada, "these are key initiatives to sensitize the public about the importance of self-care and the early detection of certain diseases, bringing health closer to the citizens and promoting habits that improve their quality of life."

From the Vithas Nervión Medical Center in Sevilla, they compiled healthy tips and recommendations to share with patients. As highlighted by Pedro Muñoz, coordinator of the Vithas Nervión Medical Center, "our center is committed to proximity and face-to-face attention, enhancing the role of the family doctor as the first point of contact with the patient, and through this program, we aim to reach out to all of Sevilla."

For this reason, and in connection with the series of preventive actions launched on the occasion of World Health Day, the head of Internal Medicine at Hospital Vithas Xanit Internacional, Dr. Francisco Miralles, emphasized the importance of prevention and early detection. "Prevention remains one of the most effective tools for preserving health. Maintaining regular check-ups, monitoring blood pressure, and adopting healthy lifestyle habits can prevent complications that, if detected late, would be much more difficult to treat," he noted.
