The famous actress, Vana Barba among other things in the full interview he gave to Nikos Hatzinikolaou in Antenna, last night Thursday 31/10/2024, spoke about her health adventure, stressing the importance of prevention, which he had neglected. “I kept it under wraps and I don’t want to talk about it too much because I treat it like it doesn’t exist. Like it’s not a problem. It is something that was found in my life, something that showed me that I had not done well, I never had prevention. I have never been one to think about my health proactively. I will run for everyone else, but not for myself. But I have a debt to my child, he is alone. If I’m not next to her, now I’m shaking. I say what did I do? I’ve never had a check-up“, he noted characteristically.
“At some point a subject was found, which I am not afraid of. Fear is what creates the problems. Fear and stress. Fear will not enter me. Fear will never nest in my life. Even the one that came in for a while, I believe I will succeed”, added the actor.
As for why she didn’t get screened, Vanna Barba replied: “I had the conceit that I would always be well and strong. That I am immortal. Do not forget that I experienced great glory. I suddenly realized that I have a child that if I am not well, it will not be the same».

**Interview with Vana Barba on Health and Prevention**
**Interviewer (Nikos Hatzinikolaou):** Vana, you spoke about your health journey and the importance of prevention during your recent interview. Many people often neglect regular check-ups, thinking they are invincible. Do you think our society glamorizes a “superhuman” mentality when it comes to health?
**Vana Barba:** Absolutely, Nikos. I fell into that trap myself. I had this misconception that I was untouchable, that my past successes somehow protected me from health issues. It’s easy to overlook preventive care when you’re busy living life.
**Nikos Hatzinikolaou:** You mentioned feeling a debt to your child. How does that shape your view on proactive health measures now?
**Vana Barba:** It’s transformative. The realization that my well-being directly affects my child made me confront my past negligence. I shouldn’t have placed my health on the back burner, thinking it wouldn’t matter in the grand scheme of things.
**Nikos Hatzinikolaou:** Given your experience, do you believe that open discussions about health challenges can encourage others to prioritize their well-being?
**Vana Barba:** Definitely. When we share our stories, it can normalize the conversation around health. It’s not just about being strong; it’s about taking the necessary steps to stay healthy.
**Nikos Hatzinikolaou:** What do you think, readers? Is our culture too fixated on the idea of being invincible, and does this lead us to neglect our health? Or is it a personal responsibility we all need to tackle? Join the debate!
