As part of the SIPHEALTH – Harmonization of Cardiovascular Diseases Management from Prevention to Heart Transplantation in the Cross-Border Area (RORS00008) project, an Educational Day dedicated to the prevention of cardiovascular diseases was held at the premises of the Local Community Office in Melenci on 20 September 2026.

The aim of the Educational Day was to inform citizens about the most common risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, the importance of healthy lifestyle habits, the prevention of heart disease, as well as the appropriate response in emergency situations.

Doctors from the General Hospital “Đorđe Joanović” Zrenjanin talked with citizens about the importance of prevention and the timely recognition of cardiovascular risk factors.

In addition to the educational activities, preventive cardiology examinations were also carried out during the event, providing citizens with an opportunity to check basic health indicators and receive information from healthcare professionals.

By organising Educational Days in local communities, the SIPHEALTH project aims to make information on prevention and cardiovascular health more accessible to citizens and to contribute to strengthening preventive medicine and improving public health.

The SIPHEALTH project is implemented within the Interreg IPA Romania–Serbia Cross-Border Cooperation Programme, with the financial support of the European Union. Educational Days will continue to be organised in other settlements as part of the project activities.
