Hero check: Free check-ups for men - focus on prevention and health
The “Hero Check” by the state of Salzburg and the Medical Association aims to increase awareness of the importance of preventive examinations for men. The examination covers all relevant clinical pictures and can literally save lives. In view of this, November is particularly in focus as a month of prevention and health for the “stronger” sex. A highlight is World Men's Day on November 3rd.
The awareness campaign aims to motivate more men to have annual check-ups. Social insurance statistics show that significantly fewer men than women take part in preventive examinations. In 2022 the difference was about 20 percent. There is a need to increase awareness among men about their own health and the importance of prevention. Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in men, but can often be detected early and treated well through regular checkups.
In order to facilitate access to preventive examinations, the website offers www.heldencheck.at a special service. There you can access information about preventive examinations and search for doctors online in order to make an appointment directly.
The hero check is an important step to improve men's health care in Salzburg and save lives. The more men have regular checkups, the sooner minor changes in the body can be detected and treated before they lead to serious illnesses.
