What Aliento Health and Wellness is all about

ALIENTO HEALTH AND WELLNESS:WHO ARE WE AND WHAT DO WE DO?

We are a blogging site created to impart knowledge, spear on health seeking behaviour and encourage people to live long, quality and happy lives.

Aliento Health and Wellness is an online wellness blog and medical consultations (at the very start-up stage).

The practice is a Primordial, Primary Care and Behavioural Interventional. We also functions as a blog post that provides articles specifically focused on the most common Diseases, Lifestyle issues, Preventative Healthcare and Behavioural Intervention- not just how and when to screen for diseases, but also how to recognise signs and symptoms that should prompt health seeking behaviour, so as to present early, eliminating costly complications and improve quality of life.

The focus is on early detection, risk reduction, and long-term wellness, a proactive, patient-centred health hub. Patients will be recommended to stick to screening guidelines, early assessments, and lifestyle guidance, often before symptoms appear. The site atmosphere, is calm, welcoming, educational and professional. In addition patients gets to own their own e-health package, containing all the medical care in one place that can be shared with other healthcare providers if necessary. They can also download the information on their diagnoses and what they need to do etc. so they can stay on top of things.

We're also exploring the delivery of medication within a 20km radius, for an extra R50.

The service offering is also currently exploring possible Work Place Wellness and collaborating with companies where employees can get their virtual assessment at the comfort of their own rooms. Medical prescription and Sick leave recommendations - all in one place.
