Starting in September, several units in the Hospital da Luz network will be holding back-to-school screenings for children. The screenings are free but must be booked in advance through MY LUZ. Pre-school age is one of the stages recommended by pediatricians, ophthalmologists, otorhinolaryngologists and dentists to assess children's clinical condition and prepare everything to ensure: Better school performance; Healthy growth; Preventing future problems, which can be detected and resolved at this age. On the other hand, periodic assessment of vision, hearing and speech skills is essential, even in children and young people who have never shown any difficulties in these areas. The return to the school routine is also a good opportunity to assess oral health and improve eating habits. Sign your child up for these screenings at Hospital da Luz now.
