VIDEO POLL | Do citizens know what Movember is?
Movember is a global movement that aims to raise awareness of men's health, especially when it comes to the prevention of prostate cancer, testicular cancer, but also for men's mental health. Every year, in November, men around the world grow a mustache to draw attention to this important topic. But what exactly does Movember mean to people in Macedonia?
Our team stopped in the city center to survey different citizens about their views and opinions on this topic.
Most were aware of the term Movemware, but did not know its meaning.
– "I think it's men's health month, especially prostate cancer." explains a bystander who was informed about this movement.
For raising awareness about men's health, most believe that the health system should be involved and campaigns should be made for regular examinations and self-checks, as well as exercising and eating healthy.
-More education and awareness about the importance of men's health is needed, especially about prevention and regular examinations. says an elderly gentleman to the "Free Press".
