HEALTH TESTS FOR EVERY V BODY HAVE YOU DELAYED CHECKUPS DUE TO COVID-19? TIME TO CATCH UP.
accination against COVID-19 is becoming more widespread, and prevention of the disease is better understood than ever. But preventing other types of diseases may have fallen by the wayside during the pandemic. “Many people have neglected to get appropriate screenings due to SANJAY KUMAR, MD fear of contracting
COVID-19,” says internal medicine physician Sanjay Kumar, MD, Medical Staff President at Monmouth Medical Center Southern Campus. “As a result, we’re seeing illnesses later in the course of diseases than we should, which makes it harder to treat patients.” Healthcare facilities have implemented measures to protect patients and are safe for screening tests and exams, Dr. Kumar emphasizes. If you’ve delayed routine screenings, now is the time to ask your doctor about tests like these.
