Health promotion is the process of enabling

people to increase control over, and to

improve their health.

It is a positive concept emphasizing personal,social, political and institutional resources,

as well as physical capacities.

populations.

Government at both local and national levels

has a unique responsibility to act

appropriately and in a timely way to ensure

that the „total‟ environment, which isbeyond the control of individuals and groups,

is conducive to health.

The five key principles of health promotion

as determined by WHO are as follows:

Health promotion involves the population as a

whole in the context of their everyday life,

rather than focusing on people at risk from

specific diseases.

Health promotion is directed

towards action on the determinants or cause of

health. This requires a close co-operationbetween sectors beyond health care reflecting

the diversity of conditions which influence

health.

Health promotion combines diverse,

but complementary methods or approaches

including communication, education, legislation,

fiscal measures, organizational change,

community change, community development andspontaneous local activities against health

hazards.

Health promotion aims particularly

at effective and concrete public participation.This requires the further development of

problem-defining and decision-making life skills,

both individually and collectively, and the

promotion of effective participation mechanisms.

Health promotion is primarily a societal and

political venture and not medical service,

although health professionals have an important

role in advocating and enabling health

promotion.

Built healthy public policy

Directing them to be aware of the health

consequences of their decisions and to accept

their responsibilities for health.

Health promotion policy requires the

identification of obstacles to the adoption of

healthy public policies in non-health sectors, and

ways of removing them. The aim must be to

make the healthier choice the easier choice forpolicy makers as well.

Create supportive environments

Changing patterns of life, work and leisure have

a significant impact on health. Work and leisure

should be a source of health for people.

The way society organizes work should help

create a healthy society.

Health promotion generates living and working

conditions that are safe, stimulating, satisfying

and enjoyable.

Strengthen community actions

At the heart of this process is the empowerment

of communities - their ownership and control of

their own endeavors and destinies.

This requires full and continuous access to

information, learning opportunities for health, as

well as funding support.

Develop personal skills

Enabling people to learn, throughout life, to

prepare themselves for all of its stages and to

cope with chronic illness and injuries is essential.

This has to be facilitated in school, home, work

and community settings.

Action is required through educational,

professional, commercial and voluntary bodies,

and within the institutions themselves.

11/16/2011 15



Reorient health services

The responsibility for health promotion in health

services is shared among individuals, community

groups, health professionals, health service

institutions and governments.

Reorienting health services also requires stronger

attention to health research as well as changes in

professional education and training.

This must lead to a change of attitude andorganization of health services which refocuses

on the total needs of the individual as a whole

person.
