If you had wandered through the Town Hall Square (Almuñécar) on the 5th you would have seen a large tent manned by chemists imparting free analysis to anybody who approached their tables.

This was an initiative put on by the Colegio de Farmacéuticos de Granada in which they took the blood pressure, made skin analysis, explained cardiovascular risk, checked osteoporosis, diabetes and even people’s emotional health.

Mayor Juanjo Ruiz Joya, together with the Councillor for Public Health, Carlos Ferrón, accompanied staff from every pharmacy in Almuñécar and La Herradura, of which there are around 20.

The Mayor thanked the College of Pharmacists for having this idea to carry out tests and give free advice to all those that stopped and enquired at the tent.

Toñi Ríos, who was one of the chemists present, explained, “We were expecting that there would be a good response from members of the public but were surprised at just how many people turned up, even forming a queue,”

The small marquee was present in the square both in the morning and in the afternoon that Thursday the 5th.
