Healthy living: take care of your heart

To make the European Universities Games as safe and painless as possible, all participants have 24/7 access to Rijeka’s medical team. Under the watchful eye of Dr. Damir Raljević and his expert volunteer assistants, the athletes are able to monitor their health and receive adequate care for their injuries. Although athletes face many physically demanding activities each day, our medical team has noted only a limited number of minor injuries, strains, and sports injuries since the Games began.

Despite their tight schedule, the medical team also set up a special cardiac examination called “Check Your Heart”. This examination is supposed to help prevent any potential heart problems, which have been common among athletes lately. The importance of timely check-ups cannot be emphasized enough, which is why Rijeka’s medical team is calling everyone to follow the “healthy mind in healthy body” mantra and trust Dr. Raljević and his team of experts to do their job.
