A special month-long health check-up initiative was launched in Mangaluru on Monday, offering residents comprehensive medical packages at discounted rates. The scheme was formally inaugurated by Rev Fr Faustine Lucas Lobo, the director of Fr Muller Charitable Institutions (FMCI).
Scheme Details and Festive Concessions
The health initiative, which began on the day of the inauguration, will continue to run until January 15. To celebrate the Christmas and New Year season, the scheme offers a significant 15% festive concession across a variety of tailored health packages. These packages are designed to cater to different segments of the population and include:
- General health check-up
- Executive health check-up
- Senior citizen health check-up
- Women's health check-up
- Comprehensive complete heart health check-up
- Adolescent health check-up
Enhanced Accessibility with Added Benefits
In a move to make preventive healthcare more accessible, the institution is also providing an audiometry test worth Rs 1,500 with a 100% concession, effectively making it free for participants. This additional benefit significantly increases the value proposition of the scheme for the public.
The inaugural day saw a promising response, with over 25 registrations recorded specifically for the executive health check-up package. This early interest underscores the community's need for such accessible healthcare initiatives.
Focus on Holistic Wellness
While inaugurating the scheme, Fr Faustine Lucas Lobo addressed the gathering and emphasized a holistic approach to health. He stressed that true wellness is not merely the absence of disease but a harmonious balance. "The importance of a healthy body, mind, and soul cannot be overstated," he stated, adding that "lasting wellness is achieved only when all three are kept in harmony." This philosophy forms the core of the charitable institution's healthcare mission.
The launch of this time-bound health scheme provides a valuable opportunity for the people of Mangaluru and surrounding areas to prioritize their well-being as the year ends. With substantial discounts and a free high-value test, the initiative aims to remove financial barriers and encourage more people to undertake essential preventive health screenings.
