European Public Health Week 2023: Prevention and control of chronic diseases

One of the themes of the European Public Health Week 2023 highlights the importance of preventing and controlling chronic diseases.

T2D and HTN represent a major burden on individuals and society and are the root causes of other chronic conditions. Currently 537 m people worldwide live with diabetes (61m in Europe) and this number is forecast to rise to 643 m by 2030 (67m in Europe). Additionally, 1.23 billion people live with hypertension. Early screening and a focus on preventative measures is key to tackling these conditions.

World Stroke Day #SavePreciousTime

A stroke is a medical emergency affecting over one in four adults globally. It occurs when the blood supply to a part of the brain is cut off resulting in oxygen starvation, brain damage and loss of function. Stroke survivors can develop short and longterm complications, including, for example, mobility and speech issues. Knowing more about the prevention and symptoms of stroke could save millions of lives. For World Stroke Day, DigiCare4You wishes to raise awareness of the seriousness of strokes and the importance of prevention strategies.
