Prof. Rik Willems, BSC President, meeting European Commissioner for Health Olivér Várhelyi at the testing booth.
The first-ever EU Screening Week starts today! As a key component of the Safe Hearts Plan, the EU Screening Week encourages people to understand the importance of three vital numbers (blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar) and to take action early to protect their health.
As part of the campaign, a dedicated cardiovascular health check zone has been set up outside the European Commission. The initiative aims to raise awareness of cardiovascular risk factors and highlight the importance of early detection and prevention.
At BSC, we are very proud to be part of this important campaign.
A special thank you to those who have volunteered their time to ensure a medical presence throughout the week. Sofie Brouwers, Asefeh Defaee, Agnès Pasquet, Bharati Shivalkar, Berlinde von Kemp and Rik Willems.
