Abstract:
Within scientific and practical integral programme of chronic noninfectious diseases prevention and control scientifically substantiated prevention procedures are being developed and introduced into applied public health with the object of reducing morbidity and mortality in the republic from leading non-infectious diseases. Proceeding from the assumption that each fifth or sixth adult inhabitant of the republic has elevated arterial blood pressure and during recent years the indices of effectively controlled arterial hypertension are not improving, the search for new forms of arterial hypertension control is quite timely. The results of work of the prevention unit established at the regional department store suggests great opportunities for increasing the volume of screening for arterial hypertension, increasing population's awareness of the necessity of arterial hypertension correction. Enlisting medical students and sometimes senior pupils from secondary school to work in the prevention units established at non-medical institutions serves as an example of using additional resources for the control of arterial hypertension at the community level.
