This Wednesday’s “Vamos Falar de Saúde” featured a conversation with the Provincial Director of Health of Huíla, Dr. Paulo Miguel Luvangamo, who, in this edition, took on the role of an expert in Occupational Medicine to address a topic of extreme relevance: occupational diseases.

Throughout his presentation, the specialist drew attention to the often invisible risks that permeate the work environment, classifying them into four major groups, which, when neglected, can seriously compromise the health of workers:

Physical risks
Chemical risks
Ergonomic risks
Biological risks

More than identifying the dangers, Dr. Paulo Luvangamo highlighted the importance of prevention as an essential tool, emphasizing that safety at work depends not only on institutions, but also on the awareness and individual behavior of each employee.

In a moment of direct and incisive reflection, he issued a clear warning to the listeners:

“Responsibility for our health begins with ourselves. Expecting others to take care of it for us is, without a doubt, one of the most dangerous decisions we can make.”
