Check-ups determine patients’ state of health in just one hour
Prevention is better than cure - and the Med & Check franchise is capitalising on the old saying to bring in business. The medical check-ups carried out at the practice determine the state of customers health in just over one hour. Two doctors and two nurses form the medical team who carry out a number of tests on patients to check for anomalies in the organism. The advantage of the service is that patients do not have to wait to be seen, as appointments are given in advance, and after consultation, patients leave the building - situated on Alameda Principal number 44, in Malaga - with the written results of the tests in their hands. Results are also given on disk. One of the medical staff, Santiago García Orza, explained to SUR that the check-ups are part of a pilot scheme which may be extended to Fuengirola and Antequera.
