The Capital City Health Center announced the launch of a pilot project aimed at improving the health of patients with chronic diseases.
The project aims to strengthen the role of the community health service as an "extended arm" of family doctors in implementing secondary prevention measures, the statement says.
"As part of this pilot project, the visiting technicians of the Capital City Health Center will visit a certain number of patients being treated for hypertension and diabetes who have not visited their chosen doctor in the last year," they said.
The goal of the project is to actively involve the community health service in monitoring and educating patients with chronic diseases.
"Through home visits, community health technicians will: check the patient's general health; contribute to a better understanding of the disease and the importance of regular use of therapy through educational work; motivate patients to have regular check-ups with their doctor; provide advice on healthy lifestyle habits and prevention of complications," they add.
It is expected that the results of the pilot project will serve as the basis for the eventual expansion of this model to the wider population, the statement says.
