Abstract:
As part of a comprehensive programme aimed at the struggle against chronic non-infectious diseases in basic population groups, an intervention model in the rural community Belec has been set up. The development, application and evaluation of this intervention model with an emphasis on positive experiences and difficulties connected with such a model have been described. The role of important parts of the programme has been emphasized--the work of the Health Committee and Guidance Clinic of Elevated Blood Pressure. The results show that there is necessary and possible to efficaciously involve the population of the community into the priority assessment, planning, application and follow-up of such a programme. However, the close cooperation with the local health service and other community sectors and their support is indispensible. It is also stressed that the economic and social development of the rural community is the prerequisite for the continuous intervention measures to be carried out and health care system promoted.
