Education and prevention, the challenge of the midwife

Education and prevention is a very important issue today, but I want to emphasize on this occasion in his innovative vision. The old model of care raised heal/heal the symptoms to restore health. This new model it does is try to maintain health, to intervene before the filing of a pathology, promote healthy lifestyles, to reach an optimal situation where we should not deal with pathologies (only the strictly unavoidable.)
In this new model, there is still much to do, in my future professional role, I can take the following steps:
1 inform users about the dangers of certain behaviors that present at the time of consultation (smoking, alcoholism, etc)
2 Empowering the users to be trained as instructors, this will cause a change in the family as the head of household to take measures to promote a healthy lifestyle.
3 Interventions in schools on sex education, since this is a topic a bit weak and should be strengthened.
4 Increase the budget for television advertising. Currently the advertising that calls an unhealthy lifestyle in a long time than paid advertising by the health system
5 Conduct workshops free assistance on specific pathologies that affect a community group (for example: cancer, AIDS, etc)
There is still much to do in this area, which is why the new generation of professionals have incorporated this model into their formation, depends on us as a new generation gradually increase the acceptance of this model.
We have big challenges, not to lower the encourage, in our hands is the future!
