The Romanian Institute for Active Ageing Association launches the national campaign "Health is Ageless" on Thursday, during a conference hosted by the Ministry of Culture.
According to a press release sent to AGERPRES on Monday, the project is dedicated to health at every stage of life and will bring to the forefront the latest medical and scientific perspectives on active ageing and the prevention of chronic diseases.
"Population aging is a global demographic phenomenon that generates significant challenges in the field of public health. Romania is facing a high mortality rate caused by cancer, many cases being discovered in advanced stages, which reduces the chances of survival. Studies indicate that early diagnosis of cancer can significantly improve survival rates, but, unfortunately, many patients are diagnosed in advanced stages, due to the lack of a national screening programme," said Alexandra Dobre, founder of the Romanian Institute for Active Aging Association.
The organizers, speakers and special guests at the conference will address three topics of discussion, very important for health prevention: early detection of heart problems by identifying signs or risk factors for heart disease, before they become serious or produce obvious symptoms; early detection in the field of oncology, by discovering cancer in early stages, when it can still be treated; vaccination and its importance, the press release states.
The event will be attended, alongside Alexandra Dobre, by Alexandru Rafila, minister of health, Adrian Streinu-Cercel, head of the Senate Health Commission, Luiza Spiru, head of the "Ana Aslan" International Foundation, among others.
