Do you have a child aged 12-16?

Please contact the doctor of Your child concerning the health screens for children between 12 and 16, especially the health screens J1 and J2. The health screen J1 should be done between the age of 12 and 14. It is a check-up concerning physical and mental health which is covered by the health insurance.

The additional health screen J2 is provided for children aged 16 or 17. It can be very important to know about the physical and mental condition of a child while choosing what to do for a living. For example, if Your child has an allergy, he or she might nor be able to choose a certain job or education.
