Community Screening

Community screening is a preventive health process where individuals within a community are tested or assessed for specific health conditions, such as infectious diseases or chronic illnesses, even if they haven't shown symptoms. The goal is to identify potential health issues early, enabling timely treatment and reducing the spread of diseases. It often involves organized events at clinics, community centers, or mobile units, and can include exams, blood tests, or questionnaires. Community screening helps improve overall public health by catching problems early and connecting people to necessary care.
