In the Kirovohrad region, the Ukrainian Red Cross holds sessions for local residents
In Novomyrhorod, at the Central Public Library, volunteer consultants from the Health Promotion and Disease Prevention area organised several events to support physical health and encourage active lifestyles among the local population.
During an informational session on the topic of “Stroke,” participants learned about:
- the definition of stroke,
- risk factors for the condition,
- how to recognise a stroke,
- methods of prevention,
- how to measure blood pressure correctly,
- maintaining a blood pressure diary.
Participants also took part in a practical session on the “Blood Pressure Measurement Algorithm” and physical activity, which included warm-up exercises and Nordic walking. It is worth noting that the activities in the Kirovohrad region are being implemented with the support of the Danish Red Cross.
