Men’s health campaign launched
Source: Tasmania. Cabinet Secretary. Media Release
"Cabinet Secretary Graeme Sturges has encouraged Tasmanian men to take heed of a new campaign urging them to take better care of their health.
The AMA Tasmania Foundation, RACT and the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia have joined forces to form MISTA – the Men’s Health Information Services Tasmania Alliance. Mr Sturges said the new alliance is behind a campaign to encourage Tasmanian men to talk about their health with general practitioners and pharmacists before serious problems emerge. The campaign will see information about key men’s health issues appear regularly in the media and in publications including the RACT Motor News. This early intervention will hopefully help men live a healthier lifestyle – one which includes regular exercise, nutritious eating and a reduction in risky behaviours like smoking and excessive alcohol intake."
