Remaining healthy thanks to optimal education
Prevention reduces the risk of developing chronic diseases such as tooth decay or heart disease. When recipients learn about prevention strategies for them selves and their children potential damage to their health and the suffering can be avoided. Health promotion programs aim to engage and empower individuals and communities to choose healthy behaviors. Con Corazón conducts regular preventative health care campaigns, especially with children and parents. Sustainable health care is an important basis and a human right for our current and future generations.
The following are examples of our regular activities:
- Practices to reduce the spread of infectious disease
