For the past 38 years, the “Amerikos Argyriou” Center for Preventive Pediatrics has stood by Cypriot families, offering free preventive checkups to pregnant women and newborns. With more than 815,000 preventive screenings to date, it contributes to the early detection of serious conditions, giving thousands of children the opportunity for a healthier start in life.
Under the slogan “Prevention Saves Lives,” the Friends of the Center Association is once again organizing this year’s annual campaign, “November – Month of Preventive Pediatrics,” a Cyprus-wide information and awareness initiative that combines scientific knowledge, social participation, and charitable activities.
