Tennis & Friends – Health and Sport returns to the Foro Italico in Rome on 9 and 10 October to celebrate ten years of prevention, well-being, health and sport. After the “baptism” of the Turin edition, which was held on 25 and 26 September last, the event that since 2011 has seen alternating personalities from the institutions, the world of sport, culture, medicine and science to raise awareness among citizens and spreading the culture of health prevention and correct lifestyles, celebrates its tenth anniversary with a program full of events. “Never let your guard down with respect to prevention which, especially in a period like this, is the main form of defense against what can harm our health. Prevention means having respect for oneself, for one’s person, but also for others. Initiatives such as Tennis & Friends, are not only an effective way to raise public awareness, but a useful tool to guarantee everyone, free of charge, the possibility of having access to diagnoses, visits and check-ups useful for testing their own state of health. and, if necessary, intervene “, declared Francesco Vaia, Director General of the National Institute of Infectious Diseases Lazzaro Spallanzani and president of the Lazio Technical-Scientific Committee of Tennis and Friends.” We started exactly ten years ago – explains Prof. Giorgio Meneschincheri, Medical Specialist in Preventive Medicine, Lecturer at the University of the Sacred Heart and Founder of Tennis & Friends – and for such a special edition we are studying new initiatives and gathering more and more adhesions from institutions that recognize the uniqueness of the event and its ability to involve all citizens, not only in Rome, in prevention “.
