Questions & Answers
The interactive session generated meaningful discussions. Some of the questions raised included:

Answer: Medical professionals recommended a comprehensive health check at least once every year, while individuals with existing medical conditions should follow their doctor’s advice for more frequent visits.

Answer: By developing technology solutions, organizing health awareness campaigns, supporting vulnerable patients, raising community funding, and creating partnerships with healthcare providers and nonprofit organizations.
