26.7.2022 The EU project "Prevention for Life" started

We are all aware of the importance of prevention when it comes to health, however, our busy lifestyle often distracts us from taking care of our own health. That is why we are proud that our team at onkologija.net and Anova Polyclinic, in collaboration with partners at the Pink Life patients' association, launched a project called "Prevention for Life". The project has been recognized for its quality and has been co-financed by the European Union from the European Social Fund under the Operational Program Efficient Human Resources.

As part of the program, which is expected to last a total of 18 months, you will be able to listen to a series of interesting online lectures in the fields of oncology, nutrition and psychology. The lecturers are experienced members of the onkologija.net team, oncologist Dr. Davor Kust, Dr. Med., nutritionist Sandra Krstev Barać, Mag.Nutr and psychologist Dr. Vanja Putarek, Mag.Psych. The lectures will be broadcast once a month or more often via the Facebook Live platform on the onkologija.net and Pink Life Facebook pages, and after each lecture there will be time for discussion or questions to the lecturers. All lectures are recorded and will be published on our YouTube channel, and you can also see all links to previously held lectures below in this article (the list will be updated).

In addition to the above, the project provides free telephone consultations for oncology patients at pre-determined times (you can check the times on our Facebook page or contact us for details), as well as free preventive examinations (with prior reservation).
