Kosovo marks World Overweight Day, free controls given in Pristina

During today's capital day, free controls have been offered for citizens, on the occasion of the October 11th World Overweight Day sign.

This event is organised by Human Care and “FES”, where among other things the informative brochure has been distributed to promote practical solutions against overweight.

The purpose of this activity, according to Hannah Xhemajil of Fredrich Ebert, is against stigmatisation and denigrative language toward overweight people.

The “juha that is used for overweight people presents various problems as in health as in the population, as in people who need treatment. We like Fredrich Ebert, within the platform “Kosovo we want” when the platform first became we wanted to be closer to citizens, the closer they feel the need for them” said.

The doctor of “Human Care”, Hannah Qavdarbasha, has recommended to all citizens that they be more careful about their health.

“In the case of the international overweight day, I recommend that patients be careful to engage in physical activity, to receive regular therapy and checkups at the doctor, as well as weight control” Qavdarbasha said.

Citizen Ramme Hajdari, even though he thanked the organisers for these free services, said he is a bit informed about this day.

“According to the term my doctor assigns me, heart cardiologist. At times three months and sometimes five months, I have it in five months, I control my heart, I control my blood pressure, they're in normal Sosa. There was no such thing as no, I know it's a health day, but it's happening” said Hajdari.

Such activities are also organised in the centre of the city of Mitrovica. Volunteers of these organizations have distributed informative brochures to promote practical solutions against overweight in order to raise the awareness of citizens on this issue.
