Sve~ana akademija - Drustvo Srbije za borbu protiv raka

nim ~ovekom prvi korak koji je na{a
obaveza u svakodnevnom poslu.
Svaki lekar je onkolog i zbog toga {to
sekundarna prevencija podrazumeva da
ta~no znamo da postoje bolesti koje, ako
otkrijemo rano, mo`emo potpuno da
izle~imo. Tako da mo`emo suzbijati rak i
onda kada mu ne znamo uzrok, mo`emo
izvestiti na{e bolesnike, pove}ati im
kvalitet `ivota i kona~no, uraditi ono
{to nam je glavna misija: unaprediti
zdravqe gra|ana Srbije. Zbog toga ovaj
posao radimo sa ciqem da budemo pravi
onkolozi {iroke orijentacije.
Osnivawe Jugoslovenskog dru{tva za
izu~avawe i suzbijawe raka, a potom
Dru{tva Srbije za borbu protiv raka,
bilo je usmereno na jedan veliki plemeniti
ciq, a to je da se u dr`avi stvori alijansa
za borbu protiv raka.
Mi smo danas, krajem 2007. godine, u
situaciji da Dru{tvo posle prvih 80 godina
zapo~iwe slede}i period, kroz narednih
ko zna koliko desetina i stotina godina.
U 2008. godini Srbija ima svoj program
koji }e da se zove ne samo: „Srbija
protiv raka”, nego koji }e biti osnova za
pravu nacionalnu alijansu.
Nekoliko godina aktivnosti podrazumevalo
je najpre ne{to {to je bilo
logi~no: popraviti ono {to je pokvareno,
kupiti ono {to je neophodno, i u~initi
prostore dostojanstvenim za le~ewe i za
rad u tim ustanovama.
Slede}i korak je, svakako, posle potpuno
jasnih i dokumentovanih analiza:
~ekaju nas nacionalni programi koje
moramo ostvariti.
Evropa protiv raka je od 1985. do 2000.
godine uspela da smawi smrtnost za skoro
10%. Ta aktivnost je nemogu}a ako to radi
samo dr`ava, ako radi samo Ministarstvo
zdravqa, ako rade samo profesori, ako
rade samo bolnice, sestre, zaposleni u
zdravstvenim ustanovama. To je mogu}e
jedino ako celo dru{tvo shvati da je
borba i suprotstavqawe raku zajedni~ki
izazov.
Mo`ete imati najuspe{nije ekonomske
projekte, mo`ete biti i razvijeniji, za
ugled, ako nema ko u zdravstvu da radi na
tome {to napravite, na tome {to je inve-
knowledgeable about the fact that the primary
prevention may fully prevent the disease
and that the dialogue with the affected
person represents the first step which is
obligatory in an every day work.
Every practitioner is also an oncologist,
because the secondary prevention presupposes
that we are undoubtedly aware of having
diseases which, if discovered early
enough, may be fully cured. This means that
we are able to fight cancer even when we do
not know its cause, we may inform our
patients, enhance their life quality and eventually,
accomplish what is our major mission,
and that is, to improve the health of Serbian
population, which is why we are doing this
job, and be real oncologists of a broader perception.
Foundation of the Yugoslav Association
for Research and Fight against Cancer and
Serbian Society for Fight against Cancer was
inspired by a huge and noble intention of creating
the national alliance in combating cancer.
Today, at the end of 2007, we have the situation
of our Society entering a new period
in which, after the foregoing 80 years, we are
ahead of the next dozens and hundreds of
years, where as of 2008, Serbia will have its
own program, which will not only be called
"Serbia against cancer" but also be the basis
for the real national alliance.
Following several years of activities,
which relied on most logical commitments,
which was, to repair the damage, purchase
what was necessary and make the facilities
more dignifying for providing medical service
and conducting work.
Indeed, the next step is to draft national
programs, after fully clear and documented
analyses, which we will have to accomplish.
In the period 1985 - 2000, in course of its
combat against cancer, Europe managed to
reduce the death incidence by nearly 10%.
Such activity would not be attainable with
the sole involvement of a state, if it only
assumed the engagement of the Ministry of
health, professors, hospitals, nurses, and staff
working in health institutions. This is achievable
only when the society realizes that the
fight and combat against cancer is a joint
challenge.
