Recently, with the assistance of volunteers, the elderly in Taoyuan Village, Yangshan Town, Huishan District, Wuxi City underwent a free physical examination, which is also part of the free health examination for elderly people over 65 years old in Wuxi. The reporter learned that in order to effectively facilitate the participation of the elderly, relevant parties mobilized volunteers to participate and helped the elderly participate in the physical examination in an orderly manner throughout the process.

The elderly participate in free physical examination
It is understood that this free physical examination in Taoyuan Village is responsible for the specific physical examination work. Considering that many elderly people have difficulty moving, the relevant parties have specially recruited volunteers with relevant experience and familiar with physical examination work. They carry out publicity work through WeChat groups, telephone notifications, etc., and also provide home notifications to the elderly who have not been contacted, so that every elderly person can understand the event.
After hearing that there was a physical examination activity, the elderly were very happy and actively participated in the registration work. Mr. Wang Chuanfang not only signed up by himself, but also brought his neighbors together, and became a member of the volunteers. During the registration process, the volunteers issued physical examination cards to the elderly and repeatedly explained the things to pay attention to during this physical examination, the location and time of the physical examination. At the same time, the volunteers also noticed that some elderly people who are old and lack self-care ability also participated in this activity. For safety reasons, the volunteers contacted their children in a timely manner, explained the situation, and told them to be accompanied by their family during the physical examination. During the physical examination, volunteers accompanied the elderly throughout the process, led the elderly to participate in the physical examination, and organized the elderly to queue up in an orderly manner and wait for the examination.
The doctors conducted careful and detailed examinations for the elderly who came for physical examination one by one, and patiently asked about their daily life habits and physical condition, and explained in detail the relevant knowledge on chronic disease prevention. As part of the local "I do practical things for the people" practical activity, the meticulous and thoughtful service of volunteers and medical staff has been unanimously praised by the elderly.
It is understood that the content of this physical examination includes more than ten items such as internal medicine, surgery, blood sugar, blood lipids, and B-ultrasound. Doctors will conduct a comprehensive health assessment based on the results of the physical examination and provide suggestions and guidance on risk factor control.
65-year-old elderly people with free physical examinations is a "benefit" for the elderly in Wuxi for specific age groups. Both local household registration and non-local household registration holders can participate in health examinations for free. At present, many communities are carrying out similar activities.
