This event will take place on June 8th 2013 between 11:00 and 16:00 in the park adjacent to the Rector’s Office and the Aleja Zwycięstwa. Besides the highly popular showcase of paramedic skills, the visitors will also be able to watch sport aerobics performances or practice yoga. New this year will be opportunities to dance zumba and run in a race for charity. The representatives of the Pomeranian Center of Speech and Hearing Medincus will be special guests at this year’s Picnic and will conduct screening tests for hearing and offer speech therapy consultations. Residents of Gdańsk, ages 18-60 who have not been previously treated for Hepatitis C will have an opportunity to get free blood tests for the anti-HCV antibodies. This testing is conducted within the campaign “HCV – the silent killer, your ignorance keeps it alive” (“Cichy Zabójca WZW C. Działa w ukryciu. Twoja niewiedza utrzymuje go przy życiu”).
