Who it's for
This scheme is for farmers who are frequently exposed to pesticides or who perform heavy lifting as part of their daily work.
What you get
You can access specialized health screenings that are either free or offered at a heavy discount. These checkups focus on the specific health risks associated with agricultural labor.
