Participation in the event is free of charge and does not require prior registration.
“Healthy Wrocław – Health Promotion Days” is one of the largest open health-promoting events in the city. Its aim is to encourage residents of the capital of Lower Silesia to take care of their mental and physical well-being, undergo regular check-ups, make informed choices, and stay active. Each year, the organizers and partners ensure that the program offers something for everyone, regardless of age. This year’s attractions will include:
– free medical tests and specialist consultations,
– educational and preventive activities,
– presentations by health-related organizations and institutions,
– physical and family activities,
– a stage program featuring talks, demonstrations, and presentations related to health and well-being.
On Saturday, 13 June, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., around 40 stands will be set up in Wrocław’s Market Square by public institutions, social organizations, medical facilities, and universities – including Wrocław Medical University. WMU will present stands for three of its campaigns:
