The effectiveness of population strategy depends on quality of health survey and of sanitarian-educational work. The effectiveness of individual tactics depends on intensity of clinical, laboratorial and instrumental checkup and elaborating an adequate correction of representative syndromes. Model of an individual prophylaxis of insult exists in the 2nd Central Military Clinical Hospital of P.V. Mandryka more then 15 years.
