Check your health and wealth
The proverb “health is wealth” holds great significance in 2020. The Covid-19 pandemic is changing the way we think about these essential facets of our lives, but it’s as important as ever to pay close attention to both.
In April, Australia’s chief medical officer, Brendan Murphy, said that a lot of people with chronic diseases and conditions other than Covid-19 were not attending their regular medical check-ups.
“Our doctors are very quiet, they don’t mind being quiet, but they’re very worried that people are so frightened that they’re not seeking medical attention. This is a really concerning issue,” says Murphy.
“We’ve set up telehealth facilities so you can have a telephone or a video conference with your doctor or you can go and see your doctor. The risk is fine as long as you ring beforehand and make arrangements.
