The website features 16 health themes (e.g. asthma, acute bronchitis, emergency contraception, diabetes, mumps, etc) gathering useful information to better understand diseases and to live with them day to day. The information includes: disease/health theme description; symptoms and possible complications; the prevention tips proposed by the health insurance.
