Health Promotion
Health promotion is an important public health tool used to improve the health of individuals and populations. It focuses on preventing illness and promoting positive health and wellbeing by addressing lifestyle, behavior and environmental determinants of health. It also aims to develop and implement policies, organize health services and set standards of practice to improve the health of individuals and the wider community. Health promotion requires intersectoral collaboration and involves the use of communication and education strategies to promote positive health behaviors. Health promotion is vital to achieving healthier populations and reducing the burden of illness, disability and death.
