17.01.2012

Residents of Gârda de Sus received free medical tests and health information during the firsts Health Fair orgnaised in Alba County. The event is part of the strategic project called “Development of Human Resources in Rural Communities 2007-2013″ implemented by the Romtens Foundation in Bucharest. Local coordinator is RECL manager Gheorghe Rădac, who offered the PAPI headquarters and equipment for the project.
P>During the event, locals could measure their glycaemia, cholesterol and triglyceride levels, as well as their Body Mass Index. They also had the opportunity to talk to family doctors and establish individual health profiles, and thus receive professional advice regarding the improvement of their personal lifestyles.

Participants received information regarding the importance of cutting down on risk factors like smoking, increased alcohol or fat intake, or about good health at work.

“We are glad that locals are increasingly aware of the importance of getting information on health topics and undergoing medical tests. They came to the fair with their children, transforming the activity into a family one, improving everyone’s health and lifestyle”, RECL manager Gheorghe Rădac says.

Large attendance

More than 120 adults and 50 children took part in the Health Fair; parents were informed about how to keep their children in optimal health. All participants received materials about preventing cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes and its complications. Attendants were happy with the event saying such actions should happen more often in the future.

“It’s important to have such check-ups periodically, based on age and associated health issues. The closest hospital where our residents can measure these parameters is in Câmpeni, 30 km away from Gârda de sus. Through this fair they had the opportunity to take care of their health right here, in our commune. Everyone’s health is very important, and we want for such events to continue in Gârda de Sus”, says Christian Ciubotărescu, family doctor in Gârda de Sus.

The Romtens Foundation, which initiated the project, is an NGO founded in 1998 by a group of doctors. It aims to improve the general health of Romania’s population, especially by increasing the role of promoting health & primary care in the medical system.
