Health Ministry Advocates Pre-Marital Screening for Stronger Families

Pre-Marital Screening.

The Ministry of Health and Population has emphasized that medical screening for couples planning to marry is a crucial step towards establishing a healthy family and ensuring the well-being of both partners and their future children.

In a recent post on its Facebook page, the ministry clarified that pre-marital screenings go beyond obtaining the necessary certificate for marriage procedures. They serve as an opportunity for early detection of infectious, chronic, and genetic diseases while providing essential medical counseling and follow-up to mitigate complications and reduce the risk of disease transmission.

The ministry highlighted that ensuring one’s health status before marriage aids in making informed health decisions, allowing couples to embark on their new life with greater confidence and awareness.

Moreover, the ministry urged those planning to marry to take advantage of early screening services, reiterating that prevention is always the best choice for building a stable and healthy family.
