“Seguridad Vital”
The reality is that Covid causes serious damage to all organs, even with apparently mild infections, and each time we are reinfected our chances of dying and being hospitalized increase, causing damage that will accumulate in our body.
The good news is that, together, working as a team, we can educate our children to live with this new reality since we have the means and information to minimize its impact on health, and so they can enjoy a healthy and long life. like ours or that of our elders.
The main means available to us is Education, and for this reason “Seguridad Vital” was born from the Spanish Society of General and Family Physicians, an initiative that consists of teams of doctors going through the classrooms of the schools giving guidelines to the students to lay the foundations that allow them to improve their health and acquire healthy habits.
We count on the courage and responsibility of the entire Society as a whole, to face this challenge from the heart.
What does it consist of?
It is a project sponsored by the Spanish Society of General and Family Physicians (SEMG) that consists in allowing Doctors from anywhere in the world to join the project to educate children in a universal language that is Health.
The Right to Health of children is a Universal Right, included for example in the Rights of the Child of 1959, and if the Pandemic has shown anything, it is the ability to adapt and the great responsibility that children can assume, without having any fear , naturally and thus defend their own Right to Health and their future.
From the SEMG we understand that we must give tools to children and young people, and that in the same way that a policeman or a firefighter goes to the classrooms to talk about Traffic Education or Fire Prevention, that from now on, Education in Health becomes a fundamental pillar of their Education given the new reality with which they will live the rest of their lives.

Objectives
Education
Educate children from childhood to adapt to this new reality that Covid has brought, so that they in turn teach at home how to minimize the impact on their health.
01
Culture
Go creating for the medium and long term, a culture in our society and an awareness of the importance of protecting ourselves and our environment, supporting the health system and having healthy habits.
02
Health
Putting the true protagonists of the future, which are children, at the center of society and giving them tools to defend their Right to Health included in Principle 4 of the Rights of the Child of 1959.
03
Responsability
In the same way that children, when they are seen by police officers and firefighters, sometimes “educate” parents when they see them commit some irresponsibility in terms of Driver’s Education, for example, why not also do it in the face of this new threat that produces many more deaths and consequences than traffic accidents.
04
“We have focused on protecting the elderly who have generally had a long and healthy life, and we have not realized that those who have the most to lose are children and young people, who are going to live their entire lives with very serious consequences due to the damage to all organs caused by Covid, if we do not educate them correctly to live with this new reality.”
An initiative of the Spanish Society of General and Family Physicians
We need your support
We need the support of families to give continuity to our work.
The health system needs us all to do our bit to make it sustainable.
It is vital for the future of children that we face new challenges, without fear, but with responsibility, perseverance and commitment so that children can enjoy many years of good health and not have to live managing sequelae from a young age.
