Heart disease among children and adolescents has long been a sore point. We learn that the heart of small Ukrainians has stopped, only when it is illuminated by the workers of mass-media. Usually it happens, as journalists shows, on the lessons of physical education. In fact, the situation is much more difficult! Every year in the Kherson region due to heart disease die about 10 children. It was only 1-2 incident on the lessons of physical culture. As said Tamila Kozina, a cardiologist at HRCKH, the causes of such diseases is the number of factors:

- A sedentary lifestyle;
- Improper diet;
- The ecological situation in the country;
- Bad habits (smoking, alcohol);
- Heredity, and others.

   Kherson Children's cardio-rheumatological center - the only place where provides outpatient and inpatient care for children with all kinds of heart disease and all rheumatic diseases. This suggests that the institution provides treatment for children not only from Kherson, but also from Kherson region!
   - I want to thank to all Khersons, who took part in the charity event "Run with the faith in heart". Only thanks to them we were able to pass the necessary equipment in HODKB ... This is one more victory for our society, for children, who have heart problems, and for me. This is not the last project, which aims at protecting children's health. In the future, we will conquer new heights, because healthy children - our future!
