14 June 2024 | Zagreb, Croatia [Vladana Kova\u010devi\u0107 with tedNEWS]<\/p>\n

How long should a centenary celebration for the Croatian Life and Health magazine (\u017divot i Zdravlje) last? For the Croatian Health Ministries team, it is a year-long celebration to give the magazine and its message maximum profile.<\/p>\n

The celebrations began last November at the 45th International Book Fair in Zagreb <\/a>and continued on Sunday, 12 May, at Zagreb’s Bundek Sports and Recreation Centre for a day of holistic health for all ages. Petar Krzmani\u0107 was one of the many participants and was impressed. “I came across this by chance because I was going for a walk with a friend. Having gone through all the stalls with their health checks and advice, I think I’m fairly healthy, but I’m still waiting to hear what the doctor says. I’ve heard about Life and Health magazine before, but I haven’t read it.”<\/p>\n

Most visitors were attracted to the Health Department stands, where they could check their health and talk with a doctor, while children enjoyed the puppet show prepared by the team from the Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) in Croatia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

“I’ve been here since nine in the morning, I work for the bookstore BookStop and the publisher Znaci vremena, shared Noemi \u0160ain\u010di\u0107, a stand volunteer. She continued, “A lot of people came, and most of them were parents with children. While they were attracted by our offer of free magazines, I think the draw might have also been the excellent puppet show for the children.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Volunteers supporting the health check at each stand inlcuded students from Maru\u0161evec high school.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In cooperation with the Health Department, the students of the Adventist High School in Maru\u0161evec generously offered their services to support the event.<\/p>\n

Gabriela Luka\u010devi\u0107, currently studying nursing, commented. “The school invited us to join this interesting project. We had many visibly interested people visit our stand. My role was to check sugar and oxygen saturation levels (measured at rest, three minutes of exercise and then after five minutes of rest).” With normal blood sugar levels ranging from 3.2 to 6.4, Luka\u010devi\u0107 added that “we didn’t find anyone with serious health problems.”<\/p>\n

In addition to measuring sugar, volunteers at health stands checked heart rate, lung strength, blood pressure, weight and body mass, offered therapeutic massages, and also engaged in dialogue with visitors about their health. The final diagnosis of the condition of an individual was given by a doctor.<\/p>\n

As a result of the day’s activity, retired pastor Ivan \u0110idara reports that around two hundred contacts were made with people who stopped by our stands. We are grateful to God and everyone who volunteered to support this project.<\/p>\n
