Abstract

Chronic non-communicable diseases (CND) have been recognized as one of the major causes of death in almost every country in the world, in recent decades.. In the Republic of Croatia, the country of the Middle East cultural circle that has passed the "demographic transition", the CND is also the leading cause of death. Guided by the idea of preventive action and the reduction of risk factors for CND according to the basic postulates of the great Croatian doctor, Andrija Štampar, a group of medical students and young doctors, founded the Association of People’s Health Andrija Štampar on January 12th, 2009 at the School of Medicine, University of Zagreb. The ongoing work has led to the realization of projects recognized at the local, regional and international level, the most important of which is the three-day Profesional-educational symposium "Štamparovi dani", which consists of blood pressure and glucose measurements for the citizens of Požega County, the preventive program of violence among schoolchildren "Be cool, do not be bully "and the international symposium Healthy Lifestyles whose main goal is continuous education for the members of the Association. It is also important to highlight projects such as Health for All, Coffee without Cream, Spend a Healthy Day, CROatian Student Summit - CROSS and Initial Program Cooperation with the National Foundation for Civil Society Development. As before, members of the Association will continue organizing public health activities and quality projects, including enthusiasts in the work and spreading the ideas of healthy lifestyles.
