Don't ignore your health during the pandemic!
During the coronavirus crisis it is essential that you continue to pay attention to your other health requirements. This pandemic and all the changes to our lives that come with it are overwhelming and it's very easy to forget about other important health issues.

For example:
-
Don't ignore that skin spot that's bothering you for a while.
-
Don't ignore new lumps or bumps.
-
Don't let yourself run out of medication.

Please keep up to date with regular routine blood tests.

Please continue regular chronic disease check ups for:
