NIMT Annual health check up 2022

Posted on 7th June 202214th June 2022 by iro

Although there is no sickness, normally we all should get a health check at least once a year. Because of the present external factors will impact on health which we cannot know such as PM2.5 pollution, toxic smoke from vehicle exhaust, pesticides or herbicides cause cancer, as well as epidemics such as COVID-19, genetic disorder. Some illnesses are caused by not getting enough physical activity, overeating, drinking too much alcohol, chronic stress, insufficient sleep.

Hence, effective self-care is self-protection before infectious diseases by annual health check-ups. Some abnormalities are possibly found in your body, before spreading. Concerning to this matter, NIMT offered the health check up welfare 2022 for all NIMT staff members to be good health. The check up organized at Phadung Matra building, NIMT Pathum Thani province, on June 7-8, 2022.
