“INVESTING IN HEALTH, RESULT IS WELLBEING”
WHY do we participate in campaign? Number of diseased is
constantly increasing. Every 3rd man and every 4th woman is in
risk or suffering of malign disease. Most common form in men is
lung, colon and prostate cancer, and in woman is breast and
cervix cancer. If illness is spotted early, it can be treated
and cured. Otherwise, prognosis is not good.
GOAL of campaign is to EDUCATE population, so they can recognize
symptoms and signs of illness, to teach them that every change
in their body deserves attention, and that they should ask
consulting from their physician. PREVENTION is informing
population with risks. EARLY DIAGNOSIS is important for
recognizing groups in risk and their examination, before
symptoms are developed.
HOW is campaign conducted? Professional members of Society for
fight against cancer (health employees, economists,
psychologists, social workers) conduct project “ZDRAVKA”
(Healthy woman) and project “MREZA” (Network). Activists lecture
and examine population in schools, community centers and
workplaces. During year 2003 and 2004 2740 inhabitants
participated from our commune. In 25% further examination was
needed, 1.5% were operated, and 1 % was diagnosed with malign
disease.
WHEN is campaign conducted? Only if this kind of action is
continual, we can influence in decrease of risks, teach
population to restore health while they are healthy. Only
continual education about health food, ecology, risks of
smoking, alcohol and drug abuse, can create healthy population.
Society for fight against cancer in Sombor has 12 – 15 this kind
of actions per month. During 2003 there were 117 different
actions. For contemporary, successful work we need NOTE BOOK
computer, VIDEO PROJECTOR and photo camera. By organizing
professional meetings, we gather financial resources for this
equipment from pharmaceutics firms. For provision other
equipment we need donations. In return, we will organize
education for population and validate your protection, because
HEALTH SHOULD BE KEPT, AND BENEFACTORS SHOULD BE REMEMBERED AND
REPAY.
