Abstract
The Association of Public Health Andrija Štampar (hereinafter: the Association) was founded in the year 2009 within the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Zagreb. Main goals of the Association are the promotion of awareness about public and people’s health and humanity; the promotion of healthy lifestyles; and the prevention of diseases. The Association Works strongly on the promotion of personal and people-centred medicine; non-violent behaviour; and social equality. The Association gathers medical students, physicians and other academic citizens through a multidisciplinary approach.
Members of the Association strongly promote the learning of Andrija Štampar, who said that a person was not just a physical and a mental being, but a spiritual and a social being as well. Every activity of the Association has therefore been developed through this prism. We
single out the following projects: Andrija Štampar Days; Be cool, don’t be a bully; Health to all; and the projects commemorating the World Brain Day, the World Stroke Day, and other important public health dates with partner associations.
During six years, we have had more than 300 volunteers having worked more than 60,000 volunteer’s hours, and more than 3,000 beneficiaries.
