The Ukrainian Red Cross launches its Health Promotion and Disease Prevention programme in the Mykolaiv region
Constant stress and challenging hygiene conditions increase the risk of illness among the population. In response, our team is expanding its geographical reach. The main goal of this initiative is to promote healthy lifestyles and raise awareness of how to prevent common diseases.
Currently, the team is undergoing training, and from March, residents of the Mykolaiv region will be able to participate in activities aimed at improving the quality of life. The programme will cover a range of topics, including the prevention of cardiovascular and oncological diseases, diabetes, tuberculosis, viral hepatitis, and other serious illnesses.
Our health education staff will conduct:
- Informational and practical sessions
- Motivational interviews for those wishing to adopt healthier lifestyles — for example, quitting smoking or improving their diet
- Activities promoting blood donation and vaccination
The programme in the Mykolaiv region is being implemented with the support of the Danish Red Cross.
Take care of your health and the well-being of your loved ones today!
