Clinicco Hospital of Cardiology in Brasov, in partnership with METRO Cash&Carry Brasov, organises the “Impreuna mai aproape de inima ta” campaign (Together, closer to your heart) aiming to support and promote prevention, the protection and health of the heart. The campaign takes place in the METRO supermarkets of Brasov between May 4, 2015 (National Heart Day) and September 29, 2015 (World Heart Day).
Statistical data show that, at the present, cardiovascular diseases represent the main cause of mortality at international level, Romania ranking 3rd, with over 62% of deaths caused by cardiovascular diseases.
The most important risk factors associated to cardiovascular diseases are heredity, age, smoking, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, high cholesterol, stress, psychosocial factors, and such diseases as high blood pressure or diabetes mellitus.
In this context, the campaign is dedicated to informing the citizens about the prevention of cardiovascular diseases and the protection and health of the heart by taking the following actions:
The participants will also receive a 10% discount coupon for cardiological examinations and investigations in the Clinicco specialty ambulatory clinic in Brasov.
"Health is the most precious asset that we must take care of. The campaign entitled "Together, closer to your heart” has a very precise objective: to be closer to people and to draw their attention on the fact that the health of the heart starts by adopting a healthy diet and the adequate physical exercises, by avoiding smoking and by constantly monitoring the blood pressure. We hope this information campaign on the protection and health of the heart will help people become aware of the importance of cardiovascular prevention in their social and medical life. We intend to get involved in as many such projects as possible because we support the health of the heart. We would like to thank the METRO Company for its open-mindedness and the support it gives to the projects dedicated to the prevention of cardiovascular diseases and to the patients with a heart condition." Dr. Mihai Ursu, the Head of Department and primary care physician of interventional cardiology at the Hospital of Cardiology in Brasov declared.
"The support of METRO Cash&Carry Romania of the project “Together, closer to your heart" represents a natural and significant step in our company’s effort to get involved in the lives of local communities. Moreover, through the activities that are carried out in our supermarkets, we stand beside the Clinicco Hospital of Cardiology in Brasov because we intend to develop this extremely important initiative. We are confident that our customers will appreciate this approach and will enjoy all the benefits granted within the framework of the program. Moreover, together with the specialists from the Clinicco Hospital of Cardiology we can offer our customers moments that will allow them to become aware of the importance of cardiovascular prevention and, more than that, to appreciate health as being “vital”, Alina Tamplaru, Head of Corporate Communications METRO Romania declared.
