Sažetak
Introduction: It is a well known fact that health care aims to protect the health of the whole population. In order to do so, health care relies on community as a base holder/provider in the state and entire society whose primary factor is the individual's self-defense in health protection. Health care is conducted through two basic segments. The first segment is prevention of disease and health treatments once the illness is present. The second segment is health improvement through rehabilitation and further promotion of the individual’s state of health. However, the most important measure should be the individual’s recovery (complete or partial) in order to carry out daily activities in life to their highest level of achievement. Therefore, to achieve the goal of health promotion it is necessary that state investments become pivotal support for all age groups. The aim of this report is to present the methods of general education for the promotion of health and disease prevention. The promotion of health is compared between two groups: the healthy and the sick population, as organised through the education of individuals and thecommunity. The community education was delivered by campaigns focused on risk factors such as increased cholesterol, increased blood pressure, smoking and obesity, as well as the promotion of national programs for early detection of malignant diseases. In addition, individuals’ education was based on self-awareness and self-control. Furthermore, the education was conducted within local health care institutions (private or governmental) that include health care professionals and the general population of mixed age. Health education implies health care measures that strive for change of an individual’s harmful behavior. Plans for further education and the implementation of the same should be based on teaching about disease prevention, proper health treatments and alleviation of the consequences of disease. Such models will lead to increased awareness of the general population
