On November 1, awareness campaign was held at the Azerbaijan State Oil and Industry University (ASOIU) by the Scientific Research Institute of Cardiology under the Ministry of Health within the framework of the "Protect Your Heart" project.
The event, initiated with the rendition of the National Anthem of the Republic of Azerbaijan, was addressed by Ata Babayev, the Vice-Rector for Educational Affairs at ASOIU, who welcomed the participants and discussed the significance of the project in promoting a healthy lifestyle in the modern era and the increasing prevalence of heart diseases.
Within the scope of the "Protect Your Heart" project at the event, videos on maintaining a healthy lifestyle and avoiding harmful habits were showcased for students to combat cardiovascular diseases. Informative booklets were distributed, and leading experts gave lectures on "Taking a Step Towards a Healthy Gene Pool".
It's worth noting that within the campaign, participants were invited for preliminary check-ups (height, weight, blood pressure, and pulse measurement) and were provided with information about the main risk factors for cardiovascular diseases.
