APESAL LAST WINNER OF THE PREVENT2CARE TOUR 2023
The APESAL association has been rewarded for its commitment to health prevention and screening for young people, from an early age. APESAL is recognized for its early detection of sensory disorders (hearing, sight), language disorders, oral and dental prevention, and obesity risk assessment, for nursery and elementary school children in the Nord department.
In 2024, APESAL plans to set up a multi-screening truck, also accessible to people with reduced mobility, to organize screening campaigns for young people in rural areas far from health care.
