Mayabeque, Cuba: Multiple activities on the occasion of World Heart Day, to be celebrated on September 29 are carried out in the municipality of San Nicolás.
This year, according to the health educator Ms. Odalys Cabrera Méndez, the day for the event includes several actions, including talks in the Rehabilitation Room of the Emilia de Córdova Community Polyclinic, where specialists give dietary recommendations to the patients suffering from cardiovascular diseases.
Also, during these days they are carrying out conversations in the workplaces of the territory and doctor's and family nurse's offices, in order to warn the population and promote the adoption of preventive measures to reduce cardiac affections.
The World Heart Federation with the support of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) designated September 29, 2000 as the first World Health Day Heart. This was due to a strategy to publicize these conditions, their prevention, control and treatment.
