The initiative, realized in a busy shopping center, was part of the municipality's efforts to raise awareness about the prevention of cardiovascular diseases and promote a healthy lifestyle. The atmosphere was filled with activity, with many citizens participating in the proposed activities.
At the heart of the event, residents and guests of the city had the opportunity to check their health condition. Devices for measuring arterial pressure and blood sugar were available. A special body fat analyzer provided participants with information on body fat ratio, body mass index, and calories burned. There was great interest around the measuring stations, with the formation of lines of people wishing to receive free consultations.
On-site, qualified medical specialists offered their knowledge and advice. Cardiologists Dr. Stamen Pishev and Dr. Diyan Gospodinov, endocrinologist Dr. Dilyana Stoyanova, general practitioner Dr. Verzhinia Georgieva, and imaging diagnostic specialist Dr. Pavel Minev answered questions related to prevention, lifestyle changes, harmful habits, and weight reduction in children and adults.

Within the framework of the health campaign, doctors emphasized the need for efforts to improve the quality of life. The importance of reducing stress, changing the diet, regular physical exercise, and preventive check-ups was emphasized.
To complement the informational part of the event, a fitness instructor and trainer gave advice on maintaining good health through physical activity, balanced nutrition, and appropriate training. An art workshop was organized for the youngest visitors of the shopping center. Children, using special templates, made and colored hearts with personal messages, creating a festive and uplifting atmosphere.
As a symbol of solidarity with people suffering from cardiovascular diseases, and to draw attention to these health problems, the bridge in Burgas will be illuminated in red lights this evening.
