Health

The RF Ministry of Health awareness program is an effort to improve the situation with citizens’ health. Alcohol and smoking can be named among the main threats and causes of human disease. More importantly, such bad habits are disastrous for the coming generations of Russian citizens, because would-be parents’ alcohol and nicotine abuse results in great damage to the future children’s health.

Pregnancy and early infancy are important periods when children are threatened with the consequences of their parents’ bad habits. The educational materials of the social program urge citizens to be responsible about their health, the heath of their future children and people around them.

The program also raises the issue of citizens’ assistance to the ambulance service, including realization of how important it is to give way to the ambulance minivan every time, because a human life may be affected. The program pays special attention to alcohol addiction. Part of the socially significant materials of the awareness program is dedicated to this important issue,

Main recommendations of the awareness programs:

- careful attitude to citizens’ own health, particularly for pregnant women;

- assistance to the ambulance service by citizens;

- giving up alcohol and smoking habits.
