Description

At the present time, all the groups of people examined are not belonging to high risk groups or groups capable of spreading the disease either among colleagues of the profession or users of products or services they are providing. Consequently it will be important to better select in the future the high risk groups. It will be probably necessary to abrogate the examination of future couples. There is presently a project to be adopted in the near future stipulating that mass radiological examinations for prevention of diseases have to be approved by the Ministry of Health, only if they are medically and epidemiologically justified
