Castelnau-Magnoac. Living well: two days dedicated to prevention

The Department’s medical and paramedical staff have just spent two days in Magnoac. The first day was particularly aimed at seniors, the aim was to advise them on simple ways to stay healthy and stay in shape for as long as possible. It was about nutrition, maintaining even moderate but regular physical activity and keeping your mind alert. In another register, the question of specific aid for the elderly was also addressed; In particular, there was the question of staying at home, a unanimous wish of all seniors. Although there were a few audiovisual presentations, dialogue was far from absent from this meeting with the Department’s agents. The “health truck” was also able to accommodate some interviews requiring more confidentiality.

Still present the next day, the mobile medical office accomplished an entirely medical mission focused on the prevention of serious female illnesses. Indeed, Magnoacaises, of all ages, were invited to come to receive information and to carry out screening tests for breast and uterine cancer. Reception required an appointment.
