Among the new features is the possibility for over 65s to have free home delivery of medicines during the winter months

Milan, October 1 2019 – Seventeen new stages to raise citizens' awareness of the importance of prevention. It is the autumn tour of the social camper, the itinerant structure created at zero cost for the Administration thanks to the public-private alliance and designed to bring the culture of health among citizens. The first Milanese stage is held today in via Dante.

Many topics will be addressed, with particular attention to highly current topics and days dedicated to skin care, the well-being of mothers and children, breathing, flu vaccines, prevention and sexual well-being, hypertension and adherence to therapy.

The anti-violence network and WeMi operators will also be present on board the Social Camper in Milan to help all citizens find the solutions best suited to their needs and improve the quality of their lives through the network of home services offered by the Municipality of Milan , in collaboration with Third Sector organisations. Again through informative and informative material present in the stages of the Social Camper, it will also be possible to learn about the service, offered to the over 65s by LloydsFarmacia in collaboration with Bayer, who in the months of December, January and February will be able to take advantage of free home delivery of medicines.

“Spreading the culture of prevention and health – declares the councilor for social and housing policies Gabriele Rabaiotti – is one of the most important objectives that the Administration must pursue, in concert with the Lombardy Region. The Social Camper initiative goes in this direction and demonstrates how collaboration between the public and private sectors is fundamental and can be an opportunity especially for the citizens who benefit from it. For this reason we thank Energie Sociali Jesurum and LloydsFarmacia who make this tour possible which will help us bring the services of the Municipality of Milan into the neighborhoods and make them known, such as WeMi and those that deal with combating gender violence".

Born two years ago by the will of the Municipality of Milan and created at zero cost for the administrations involved, thanks to the virtuous collaboration with Energie Sociali Jesurum and with LloydsFarmacia and in synergy with private partners, the Social Camper has already reached 28 stages between May and July between Milan, Bologna, Prato and Cremona, offering thousands of citizens free consultations and exams, as well as advice and information materials useful for raising awareness about personal health and well-being.
