The European Public Health Week is in Ukraine from May 13 till 17. Our country has been participating in this event for six years. This event aims to pay attention to the health and wellbeing of people around the world. We must increase their awareness in the sphere of health care. So, every citizen has a constitutional right for protection of health. This right makes it possible to realise the need for high – quality and affordable medical care, sanitary-epidemiological wellbeing, safe working conditions, prevention of chronic diseases, maintenance of a healthy lifestyle. Public health plays an important role in strengthening the health of the population, preventing diseases, improving and prolonging the life of the population all over the world. The events of the European Health Week are dedicated to specific topics, which include disease prevention and advices, which need to be applied in everyday life.
