Through the result of the questionnaire, the citizen is informed of the disease targeted for detection.
Dr. Nirvana added that after knowing the disease targeted to be detected in the citizen, he is transferred to the hospitals operating within the initiative, to conduct the necessary x-rays and laboratory tests, and in the case of a negative test, the citizen is informed of periodic follow-up of his health condition according to the type of tumor targeted to be detected, but in the case of positive tests. The patient is presented to a multidisciplinary committee to make the necessary treatment decision.
