Abstract

The modern lifestyle often requires neglecting basic health needs for the purpose of faster progress in the workplace, meeting the needs of the social environment, and fulfilling the obligations that the modern society carries with it. Many negative aspects of modern lifestyles impair health, especially unhealthy and unbalanced diet, excessive salt intake, insufficient rest and sleep, lack of physical activity, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption and excessive exposure to stress. Guided by these problems, a group of medical students and young doctors gathered in the Association of People’s Health Andrija Štampar back in 2009, in order to promote public health aspirations and principles of Andrija Štampar, especially the one that says that the most important places of medical activity are places where people live, not offices. That same year, the Association started to organize the Professional-educational Symposium “Štamparovi dani” that turned into an unavoidable annual event which has already been visited by many experts, young physicians and students from all over the Croatia and abroad with the idea of sharing their public health thinking, practising continuous professional education, health promotion and healthy lifestyles. “Štampar days” and the work of the Association have so far been recognized and supported by number of relevant institutions. Many other collaborations are expected in the future, especially those which will aim to return to basic postulates of public health, health promotion, and healthy lifestyles.
