Recently, medicine has adopted a pronounced therapeutic orientation, and the problems of preventing diseases and connecting primary health care to their solution have gone into the background. The development of the outpatient service is one of the main elements of the strategic health restructuring program. Programs for the prevention of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in a region, large or small, include a sequence of actions, emphasize a multisectoral approach to prevention. The need to coordinate the interaction of sectors of society for the success of prevention programs is obvious. The main priorities for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are: the organization of periodic medical examinations by primary health care institutions and the promotion of a healthy lifestyle in family clinics.
