About 120 adults and children checked their health at the "Nizhny Novgorod Family" festival.

      On August 10, 2026, 14:25 Society The Ministry of Health of the Nizhny Novgorod Region summarized the work of medical specialists at the "Nizhny Novgorod Family" festival, which took place in Nizhny Novgorod last week. About 120 adults and children participated in the "medical site" activities. They took advantage of the opportunity to undergo free express health diagnostics and receive recommendations from doctors of various specialties.

      As noted by the department, the medical component of the festival was carried out in fulfillment of the tasks of the national project "Sustained and Active Life." Among them are the development of preventive healthcare, including the implementation of health screenings and preventive medical examinations.

      Doctors from City Polyclinic No. 30 organized the work of the "Health Pavilion." Here, about 50 adults underwent bioimpedance analysis, learning about body composition and biological age. Each patient was given individual recommendations for disease prevention and lifestyle correction.

      A doctor from the Nizhny Novgorod Regional Dentistry actively participated in the festival, examining more than 50 adults and children. The most common issues identified among those examined were cavities and diseases of the oral mucosa. All participants in the dental reception underwent oncological screening using a fluorescent dental microscope.

      Special attention was paid to children's health. A mobile team from Children's City Polyclinic No. 39 examined about 70 young festival participants. The team included a pediatrician, neurologist, urologist surgeon, otorhinolaryngologist, traumatologist, ophthalmologist, endocrinologist, and dentist. In addition to consultations, children underwent electrocardiography and ultrasound of the heart.

      "Such mobile preventive examinations allow us to detect diseases at early stages when they are most amenable to correction. Moreover, we draw parents' attention to the importance of regular preventive check-ups," said Inna Kondratieva, chief physician of Children's City Polyclinic No. 39.

      Specialists from the Nizhny Novgorod Regional Center for Public Health and Medical Prevention, in turn, conducted useful classes on neurogymnastics for festival guests. Guests performed a set of exercises to develop cognitive functions, attention, and coordination of movements.

      According to the examination results, the most common identified disorders were flat feet, postural disorders, as well as neurological and surgical profile diseases. Several children were diagnosed with excess body weight and obesity, while among eye disorders, myopia and astigmatism were the most frequently encountered.

      In addition to recommendations for further monitoring, patients received referrals for additional examinations. School-aged children, based on the examination results, will automatically receive permits for physical education and sports activities.

      Let us remind you that the national project "Sustained and Active Life" has been implemented in the country since 2025 by order of the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin. It aims to increase life expectancy by 2030 and involves the modernization of polyclinics, outpatient clinics, and feldsher-midwife stations, attracting qualified medical personnel to medical institutions, applying new approaches in prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of chronic diseases, improving emergency medical care and rehabilitation systems, developing a network of national research centers, and digitizing the industry.
