- Personalized Women's Healthcare Program: Initiative for Accessible Preventive Care
Recognizing ongoing challenges in Georgia’s healthcare sector, including the lack of affordable and personalized medical care, New Vision University has introduced the Personalized Women’s Healthcare Program. This initiative addresses gaps in preventive healthcare, aiming to make high-quality, individualized medical services accessible and to foster a culture of regular check-ups for early diagnosis and effective treatment.
The program is designed to increase healthcare accessibility for women, including those with special needs, through financially subsidized services. It encourages routine, annual check-ups by offering comprehensive healthcare services fully funded for 1,000 female teachers. This includes consultations with seven specialists: therapists, endocrinologists, gynecologists, mammologists, dermatologists, dentists, and psychologists, extensive laboratory tests and instrumental studies such as ultrasounds, mammography, and biopsies as needed.
In addition to providing affordable care, the program aims to create a large database on women’s health in Georgia, which will support epidemiological and clinical research. By building this resource, NVU aims to contribute valuable insights into women’s health and improve patient-centered care through integrative medicine.
