Amerikos Argyriou Preventive Pediatrics Center launches awareness month in Cyprus

The Amerikos Argyriou Preventive Pediatrics Center has launched its annual "November – Month of Preventive Pediatrics" campaign across Cyprus. For 38 years, the organization has provided free screening services to pregnant women and newborns, having completed over 815,000 checks to date. The initiative aims to raise awareness regarding the early detection of serious medical conditions, upholding the slogan "Prevention Saves Lives.

Operating throughout the island, the center facilitates three primary free screening programs: prenatal testing, newborn screening, and newborn hearing screening. These services are vital for ensuring a healthy start for children in Cyprus. The current campaign, organized by the Association of Friends of the Center, includes various scientific, social, and charitable activities.

This year's awareness drive began with a successful gastronomic event on October 24 at the Old Port Square in Limassol, held in collaboration with the Cyprus Chefs Association, alongside a Halloween festival. The campaign serves as a continuation of the organization's long-standing mission to integrate scientific expertise with public participation to improve pediatric health outcomes nationwide.
