The Health Promotion Centre of the Move, Debrecen! movement celebrates its first birthday

A year ago, the city centre health promotion centre opened its doors, which is the most important Move, Debrecen! location for the program’s screening tests and health-preserving sessions.

As part of Move, Debrecen! 881 programmes were organised in the centre and across the city over three years, with a total of more than 120,000 participants. One in ten of them came to the centre.

” 11,105 people from Debrecen took part in our programs. I say Debrecen because we ask for a city card here. It was a very important step for Mozdulj, Debrecen! that we didn’t ask for a city card in all of our programs, anyone can go there and we see a lot of people coming from the countryside as well, but here we wanted the people of Debrecen to receive attention and care in the first place,” Deputy Mayor Diána Széles highlighted.

The main pillars of Move, Debrecen! are preventive screening, health education and the promotion of regular exercise. The latter is of great importance from an early age, as 58% of young people in Debrecen have mobility problems due to a sedentary lifestyle. This is why the Move Debrecen! School programme was launched and its first results are encouraging.

“Health promotion classes were provided twice for 45 minutes. It was effective because it reduced the number of lesions by 1%, which is perfect for a one-year programme,” Director of the Debrecen Institute of Primary Care and Health Promotion Csaba Papp said.

A smart kitchen has also been set up in the city centre health promotion centre, where the daily practice of eating for a healthy lifestyle is demonstrated. It is planned to further develop the range of programmes offered by Move, Debrecen!
