The City Council and health professionals of La Gomera developed a program of activities, workshops and presentations to promote healthy habits and bring information about this disease to the population.
The Vallehermoso City Council, in collaboration with the La Gomera Health Area, held a day this Friday on the occasion of World Diabetes Day, which had notable citizen participation and made it possible to provide residents with information on prevention, treatment and care related to this chronic disease.
The programming took place in the Plaza de la Constitución and in the City Hall Assembly Hall, with different activities aimed at both the school population and the general public, encouraging the exchange of knowledge and the participation of people of different ages.
Among the proposals, the workshop "The secret history of sugar" stood out, aimed at CEO Vallehermoso's students, as well as a series of presentations given by health professionals who addressed issues such as the psychological impact of chronic diseases, the importance of physical exercise in people with diabetes and advances in continuous glucose measurement systems.
The day also included a space for diagnostic tests, offering the population the opportunity to participate in activities linked to knowledge and care of their health.
The mayor of Vallehermoso, Emiliano Coello, valued the involvement of health professionals and the response of citizens, highlighting the importance of continuing to promote initiatives that bring health information closer to the population and contribute to improving their well-being and quality of life. A shared commitment to health and well-being
This activity is part of the Strategy for Health-Promoting Islands and Municipalities, an initiative that is committed to institutional collaboration, citizen participation and the involvement of local groups to promote actions related to prevention and the promotion of healthy lifestyle habits.
The City Council highlights that these types of meetings allow us to continue advancing in a line of work shared with the health, educational, sports and social entities of the municipality, favoring the development of proposals that respond to the needs of the population.
The City Council thus reaffirms its commitment to continue promoting, together with collaborating entities, activities that place the health, prevention and well-being of residents among the priorities of municipal programming.
