Heart and blood vessels diseases
Priority 1: in reducing the heart and blood vessels diseases load it is early detection of risk factors: increased blood pressure, values of cholesterol and sugar in blood. This will be achieved by introduction of preventive programs in the primary health care level (screening program to increased blood pressure) as well as by continuous implementation of already introduced opportunistic screenings (values of cholesterol and sugar in blood).
Priority 2: refers to the reduction of exposure to risk factors for heart and blood vessels diseases that are connected to unhealthy life styles (use of tobacco, alcohol, physical inactivity, unhealthy diet, obesity) and is implemented through the realisation of existing and introduction of new preventive programs in the level of primary health care in the prevention centres of the Health Centres. These programs are created, monitored and evaluated by the Institute for Public Health.
