Action Plan for Promoting Finnish Heart Health for the years 2005-2011
The goal of the Finnish Heart Association is that, in 20 years' time, cardiovascular diseases will no longer be a significant health problem among working-age adults and that people experience more healthy and active years in their lives.
The actions that play the most important role in the development
and treatment of cardiovascular
diseases have to be more effective to reach this goal. The Action
Plan for Promoting Finnish Heart Health provides guidelines,
central strategies and recommendations for actions to prevent these
diseases, and by doing so, it also promotes health on the
population level. The action plan is part of the Finnish Heart
Plan.
