The Minister of Health, Encarna Guillen, signed today with the mayor of Cehegín, Jose Rafael Rocamora, the renewal of the agreement with the city to develop the Active program that promotes physical activity to promote healthy lifestyles, manage chronic diseases and combat physical inactivity and obesity.
The Active program is an initiative of the Directorate General of Health Planning, Research, Pharmacy and Citizen of the Ministry of Health, conducted in collaboration with the Foundation (FFIS) Training and Health Research, which involved the primary care centers and municipalities, to promote physical activity and encourage healthy lifestyles among citizens.
The municipality of Cehegín has an estimated population of 15,794 inhabitants, 6,742 of which are in the age group between 35 and 65 years in serving the Activa program.
The Minister highlighted the work of primary care professionals "to promote awareness and prevention, to be responsible for promoting healthy lifestyles, early identification of chronicity and enable continuity of care."
This work is reflected in the more than 11 million queries were dealt with in the region throughout 2015, thanks to the commitment of the regional government by bringing health to all parts of the region and the work carried out by the SMS professionals.
Physical activity program takes place in blocks of 30 sessions spread over 3 per week, covering a minimum of 10 weeks and will take place in two sports spaces donated by the city of Cehegín.
Classes are taught graduates in Science of Physical Activity and Sport, hired and trained for this activity for proper implementation through the FFIS.
