Zmajevi in action: "Where others see weakness, we see courage"

The Institute for Health and Food Safety, in cooperation with the Football Association of BiH, the ministries of health and education, science, culture and sports of ZDC, and the Health Insurance Institute of ZDC, with the help of the Charitable Organization of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) from the USA, is conducting a campaign “Vision screening – the importance of wearing glasses in children”.

The slogan of the campaign is "WHERE OTHERS SEE WEAKNESS, WE SEE COURAGE", and the campaign was supported by the football representatives of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Edin Džeko, Asmir Begović and Miralem Pjanić, who, in production of the federal news agency FENA, recorded a television spot for the School Hygiene Service of the Institute for Health and Food Safety Zenica. 

-The School Hygiene Service of the Institute for Health and Food Safety Zenica conducts screening for early detection of vision disorders in school children. We have established that every 15th child has certain vision problems, so some of them need to wear glasses. Wearing glasses at an early age can be a problem and a stigma, and that is why we launched this activity to ease the situation for children who do not see well and need the help of glasses – said prim. dr. Senad Huseinagić, director of the Institute.
