Health as national idea

Doctors and demographers say that Ukraine as territory will always exist. Other question: what people will live on it if we, Ukrainians, continue in the same spirit — so irresponsibly to concern the health.
Bermudas triangle on-ukrainski
If to try to analyse a situation, it turns out that ourselves ruin the health. Today it is possible to blame the government, a condition of medicine, secret enemies that Ukrainians as the nation dies out, but the fact remains the fact — practically all in this life depends on the person. “When speak: to improve a demographic situation in Ukraine, it is necessary to carry out reform in public health services sphere is a bosh, — the director of institute of a demography and social researches НАН of Ukraine Ella Libanova speaks. — By definition of experts the CART only 20 % of health of the population depend on a medicine condition, and 50 % are a way of life: a food, abusing alcohol, smoking, absence of physical activities”.
Huge problem in our country — absence of an ideal of health as public prestige. And after all so accents in the developed society, in which good health — necessary attribute of a life are placed. At us, as well as in other countries of the post-Soviet territory, the prestige is estimated through a material well-being: the good car, apartment, a summer residence. In achievement of these purposes the person puts all health, without reflecting that after it will construct the house, will plant a tree and will grow up the son, it has every chance not to see the grandsons.
“Ukraine takes a penultimate place in Europe on life expectancy, the situation only in Russia is worse, — Ella Libanova continues. — I always say that at Ukraine there is a certain Bermudas triangle — men at the age from 40 to 60 practically vanish”.
Root of all evil in this case in a devil-may-care attitude of the person to the health and the big resourcefulness in selection of pretexts ("all of us" there we "will be" or “is not present time”) that for it not to watch. Those "heroes", with the dominating "socialist" relation to the health more often suffer: to transfer illness standing it it is good, means, the person endows itself for the sake of collective and "common cause". Besides it all time postpones a campaign to the doctor, and then, probably, get to it already on a stretcher. Excuses lose the urgency only when the person hears a verdict of the doctor it is necessary what to live few days or months.
“If to take statistics now in our country superdeath rate among men — every fourth dies of a cancer of the lungs, every tenth from a cancer простаты, every fifth from a stomach cancer, and this list can be continued and continued, — the doctor of medical sciences, ex-Minister of Health Jury Spizhenko makes comments on a situation. — On what life expectancy depends? From three most important components: environment, a medicine condition in the country and a way of life. Yes, is now unreal to clear all rivers, to utilise all waste, but a way of life to change after all it is possible. If to speak simple words, a major principle of a healthy life: is less, to move more. And it already will give much. There would be a desire. Having bought the car, the person knows that that demands special leaving — checkups, high-quality oil and gasoline because in the car the big money has been put up. And now estimate itself. Why we are lazy time in half a year to descend to the doctor on survey?”.
One more moment — self-treatment. By the main source of reception of "councils" that it is useful to eat and than is better to be treated, there were mass media and friends. On the TV show, how workers of office support vivacity of spirit "superuseful" soup or noodles of fast preparation, flakes or chips are necessary for children every morning. And the person in a white dressing gown tells about the different wonderful medicines, capable to cure you from all illnesses. As after such stream “the medical information” not to believe that you know much more dietician and the therapist sitting in the nearest polyclinic.
The price — health?
But all the same it is impossible to charge with all cargo of responsibility only citizens. To transition to more civilised way of health protection the state should give an impulse. According to the executive secretary of Association of psychiatrists of Ukraine, the director of the Ukrainian-American bureau of protection of human rights Simeon Gluzmana, Ukrainians concern the health, than, for example, Dutches not is worse. “At us it is simple conditions others — we have not got used, when to us explain that we, for example, eat. We have not got used to go in for sports, only for the reason that we simply do not have money”. Some simply do not presume to visit to themselves sections or the fitness centres. “Recently I with the colleague was on business trip in Switzerland. The four-hour campaign in the centre of health with all procedures has managed to us already in hundred grivnas”, — Ella Libanova speaks. Certainly, the ordinary Ukrainian can dream of such prices only.
Huge obstacle in a way to a healthy way of life and to the health in general is level of a material well-being of the person. After all if the person knows that is sick, but it does not have money for treatment while it will collect the necessary sum, in an organism irreversible processes when treatment already simply will not help can already begin. And what already to speak about qualitative inspection in private polyclinic in which the general inspection of an organism will manage about two thousand grivnas. For example, 800 dollars should be laid out for inspection in private clinic of one body about disease by a cancer which occupies one of leading places among the reasons of death rate of the population.
It is necessary to notice that on the decision of our citizens on that to go to hospital or not, the recent fashion of doctors influences to co-operate with some pharmaceutical firms.
“What sense to go to the doctor if the patient is assured that it understands system of public health services not worse it, — Simeon Gluzman speaks. — Or the doctor thinks of how from the patient to pull out money for medicines unnecessary you. We — result of such education. After all for eighteen years reform in public health services sphere has not been spent. Therefore, having received the recipe on medicines, the patient now twenty times will think, before them to accept. It does not have confidence that the doctor does not co-operate with any firm. First of all, the patient will reflect on, whether the doctor to it has registered these preparations because they will help to restore health, or well-being of the doctor”.
With thought on the future
It is necessary to reflect on a nation state of health already now, caring of health of the future generation. “That fact is very unpleasant to me that about health of our children start to reflect and speak only when there are accidents, — the deserved master of sports Denis Silantev speaks. — On the statistican last year at school has died four pupils who had problems with cardiovascular system. And a unique exit from this situation officials see only in reduction of loadings. I, as the sportsman, can tell that swimming as anything else helps to struggle with these diseases. But as children can be engaged in this kind of sports if not in each region there are pools and if those and are they it is simple in an awful condition. There are no government programs on public health services. I wish to note such moment: in Ukraine beer and cigarettes are more accessible, than a campaign in sports hall”.
It is supported by the Olympic champion on sports gymnastics of Stella Zaharova: “Many politicians say that they put up money in health of children, charitable actions are carried out. Reflect, in what this money — in treatment, but at all is put up warning disease”.
Demographers notice what to "alter" consciousness of people which for fifty years, and to change their outlook concerning the health is already useless, therefore the basic accent to cost to do on people of younger age group — to thirty and is younger.
The requirement for health appears, as a rule, in case of its loss. As we do not reflect on our requirement for air, and the healthy person does not notice importance of care of the health, perceiving it as a reality. He trusts in its indestructibility and does not consider it necessary to undertake any special actions on preservation and health strengthening, as and so all is good. It is time to change opinion that health will think of yours the state or somebody else. The cycle of materials on a site "Editor-in-chief" within the limits of the national program of Media holding "Editor-in-chief-media" “also will be devoted a question of a healthy way of life Keep nation health”.
