Cabrini Institute - Foundation 49
Did you know that each hour in Australia, more that five men die from conditions that are potentially preventable? Or that men live on average six years less than women?
Foundation 49 is a direct response to this health crisis affecting 49% of the population – and is dedicated to improving the health status of all men.
Our vision is to reduce the number of men dying from preventable conditions through raising awareness and encouraging regular check ups. We are supported by a group of men’s health experts, including medical specialists and community health workers. Foundation 49 is an initiative of Cabrini Health, Victoria, and is funded solely through donations and special events.
So some tips for good health:
- Have a regular GP
- Have a regular check up with your GP
- Know your body and what is normal for you
- Promptly check out any changes in your body with your GP
- Know the health risks for your age group, and what to do to reduce them
