A group of medical professionals with international experience launched an educational web platform “Znanjem do zdravlja” with numerous useful texts dedicated to health care. This portal was launched when accurate and verified information is essential for greater population education and thus better society's health literacy. The expert team of doctors, scientists, professors, and editors is led by the founders and editors of the platform, Dr. Eldina Nizamić and Prof. Dr. Vedka Begović; project coordinator Dr. Sci. Ljiljana Đukanović; expert associates M.sci. Jenita Lyons and Dr. Sci. Azra Terzić; and technical and expert associate Dr. Sci. Adna Sijerčić and editor Prof. Mersiha Sarač.“’Znanjem do zdravlja’ "a platform that offers our readers valid, verified, and updated information on the recognition and treatment of the most common diseases, as well as on a healthy lifestyle, to improve health, improve the quality of life, and extend life expectancy," the authors point out. The idea of forming an educational platform Znanjem do zdravlja originates from members of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian American Academy of Arts and Sciences (BHAAAS), which has been working for many years to transfer the best knowledge and experiences to its fellow citizens in the homeland of Bosnia and Herzegovina. This project was fully supported by BHAAAS as another way to transfer knowledge and empower BiH society. At a time when we can find a lot of advice and instructions about health on the Internet and social networks, and among them are often inaccurate, unverified, and even harmful, platforms like this are becoming more and more important. The fact is that many of us in the digital world cannot distinguish what information is true and what is false, and we can unknowingly put ourselves in dangerous situations. Guide mission “Znanjem do zdravlja” is to inform and help in recognizing the disease, but also to encourage readers to seek medical help in a timely manner and to understand the importance of prevention and early detection of the disease. The wish of the team members of Znanjem do zdravlja is to motivate citizens to take greater care of their health, and in this way, reliable information and current trends and achievements in the field of health will find their way to readers in our country. "Individual health care is based on primary health care, or the first contact with health institutions. Therefore, we want to send a clear message: Your family doctor in primary health care is your partner, and the responsibility for your health is shared!" state the creators of the platform, whose work, in addition to the main team, is also contributed to by other members of BHAAAS, as well as experts from Bosnia and Herzegovina and beyond.
