Public health prevention and literacy initiatives

Overview

Public health institutes have issued guidance and educational initiatives focused on disease prevention and health literacy.

Initial guidance from the Institute of Public Health emphasized the prevention and recognition of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Officials warned that untreated infections can lead to serious complications, such as fertility issues and increased cancer risks, and recommended regular testing, vaccination, and consistent condom use.

Following this, the Institute of Public Health of Istria expanded its outreach through educational programs. These initiatives include the ‘Zlatne godine’ (Golden Years) program to improve health literacy among seniors and the promotion of sexual and reproductive health for young people. The latter is supported by Youth Sexual Health Counseling centers designed to provide reliable information to prevent STIs and encourage medical consultation without stigma.
