The program is crafted to be highly digital: to participate, merely confirm your approval in the Action, after which the funds allocated for the examination will be credited to a dedicated Action.Card within a week. Citizens who do not utilize smartphones have the option to request a physical card at a collaborating bank and put in their request through the ASC. These monetary resources are specifically allocated and can solely be employed for covering medical services costs at establishments that have joined the undertaking.
Screening 40+ enables you to evaluate your well-being and spot potential threats related to heart ailments, diabetes, and mental health challenges promptly
