Cut in federal funds for prevention!

Targeted preventive medicine should prevent or delay diseases and thus make possbile a long and healthy life. The German Federal Health Ministry designates prevention as the central investment in the future. Prevention should become established in the health system as the forth column next to acute care, rehabilitation and chronic care. However: the federal budget for 2012 cuts about 1.3m euros from the funds for prevention.  Thus prevention is becoming more and more a personal responsibility. Prevention must be understood, health-conscious behaviour must be practiced and reinforced. The prevention programmes of the Diagnoseklinik will help you in this regard.

Healthy lifestyle protects from certain types of cancer

The most common types of cancer in Germany are lung, colon, breast, prostate and skin cancer. Lifestyle plays a big role in the development of lung, colon, breast and skin cancer. The World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates that roughly one third of the malignant diseases in the western countries develop because of unhealthy nutrition, smoking or lack of physical activity. Many people do not know that even the risk of developing colon or breast cancer can be reduced. Colon as well as breast cancer after menopause are related to overweight and lack of physical activity. Overall it is worthwhile to nurture a healthy life style in order to lower one’s personal risk of disease. The prevention programmes of Diagnoseklinik will help you in this regard.
