INTRODUCTION
In this project, we want to show the importance of promotion and prevention in the
area of health so that you can generate awareness among people of the care to be
taken.
And so to prevent and detect early cardiovascular diseases, epidemics, cancer
diseases and to give excellent handling in case they arise
The concept of health according to the World Health Organization has a specific
definition: the complete state of physical and social well-being that a person has.
This definition is the result of a conceptual evolution, since it emerged in place of a
notion that had long, who boasted that health was simply the absence of biological
diseases. From the fifties, the WHO revised the definition and finally replaced by
the new, in which the notion of human well-being transcends the merely physical.
The Pan American Health Organization then brought one more fact: health also
has to do with the environment around the person. (concept.of, 2015)

GOALS

Promote advocacy and prevention from the health area also provide
adequate service to the community

invite the community to participate in vaccination campaigns and thus

achieve awareness about the importance of vaccines Eskimo

Raising awareness in patients to attend checkups to prevent diseases and

keep the body stable periodically

RESEARCH QUESTION
Which they are most common diseases? Prevention and promotion?

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

The health promotion draws from many disciplines such as epidemiology,

medicine, sociology, psychology, communication and pedagogy (AFMC, s.f.)

Primordial prevention consists of actions to minimize future hazards to health

and hence inhibit the establishment factors (environmental, economic, social,
behavioural, cultural) known to increase the risk of disease.2 It addresses broad
health determinants rather than preventing personal exposure to risk factors, which
is the goal of primary prevention. Thus, prohibiting alcohol in certain countries
would represent primordial prevention, whereas a campaign against drinking and
would be an example of primary prevention.
Primary prevention seeks to prevent the onset of specific diseases via risk
reduction: by altering behaviours or exposures that can lead to disease, or by
enhancing resistance to the effects of exposure to a disease agent. Primary
prevention generally targets specific causes and risk factors for specific diseases,
but may also aim to promote healthy behaviours, improve host resistance, and
foster safe environments that reduce the risk of disease, for instance, thorough
cleaning of operating rooms to prevent post-operative infection.
Secundary prevention includes procedures that detect and treat pre-clinical
pathological changes and thereby control disease progression. Screening
procedures (such as mammography to detect early stage breast cancer) are often
the first step, leading to early interventions that are more cost effective than
intervening once symptoms appear.

Anorexy is a disease characterized by:

Refusal to maintain at or above minimum body weight of normal value for
age and height. They are people who have an exaggerated fear of gaining
weight or gain weight.
Cardiovascular disease and cerebrovascular disease ("stroke") characterized
by:

 Are common causes of morbidity and loss of quality of life in the current
population, however, are preventable diseases.
Measles is an infectious disease caused by:
A virus in the paramyxovirus family. How is it spread? Measles is a highly
contagious disease, so that the briefest contact with an infected can transmit
the infection.

Bulimia

Is a disease in which a person binge eats and then feels a loss of control, so
the y vomit or use laxatives to prevent the weight gain.

Overweight

Defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that may impair health.

Characterized by a body mass index (BMI) greater than 25 but less than 30.

PROPOSALS
PREVENTION

Provision of basic clinical services

Clean water
Mass vaccination againts specific diseases
Exercise Daily
Eat healthy
Washing hands

PROMOTION
Primary: activities are designed to completely prevent desease.
For example, immunization.
Secondary: early detection and management of diseases. For example,
control tests to be performed.
Tertiary: to manage clinical diseases in order to prevent them from
progresssing or to avoid complications of the diseases.
The best solution we can ofter them as your eps is to have workshops where he
will report to the people what the disease more common and how to prevent further
appointments will have priority possibly patients who may suffer any of
these diseases.
