[Hwasun=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Ji-woon] Jeonnam Hwasun-gun announced on the 13th that it will carry out the ‘Know Your Vascular Numbers Red Circle Campaign’ throughout September in observance of the Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease Prevention and Management Week.

‘Know Your Vascular Numbers’ means knowing and managing your blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels to maintain healthy blood vessels, or a ‘Red Circle,’ to prevent and manage cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

The county will actively promote ‘Know Your Vascular Numbers’ by touring local traditional markets and will also operate an on-site experiential program-focused campaign (Red Circle Zone) at the Haniyum Sports Culture Center on the 15th.

Health centers will operate ‘Know Your Vascular Numbers’ counseling rooms for residents in township areas. They plan to encourage the practice of healthy lifestyle habits through blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol tests, as well as individual health consultations.

The county will actively promote awareness and vigilance about cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases through various content such as banners, outdoor digital billboards, and apartment mirror advertisements to create a healthier Hwasun.

A Hwasun County Public Health Center official said, “Prevention and management of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases must start with accurately knowing your vascular numbers,” adding, “We hope this campaign will be an opportunity for residents to manage their vascular health on their own.”
