Promote global health and wellbeing Contribute to the achievement of equity in health between and within countries of the world Mission

Our vision of Health Health is a resource for the everyday life of individuals and of societies. It is an outcome of complex social and economic developments and constructs. It is created when individuals, families and communities are able to take control over their lives; and their needs are supported by the environment in which they live.

The importance of Health Promotion Health promotion is a vital part of the global social development agenda. It aims to help people to improve their own health and the underlying factors that influence health. The main determinants of health are people’s, social, economic and environmental living conditions, and the social and personal behaviours that are strongly influenced by those conditions

The importance of Health Promotion A key characteristic of health promotion is the planned articulation of a wide range of complementary actions in an organized context: academic, government or community. Its core activities include health literacy, health education and advocacy for horizontal policy approaches in all sectors of society which help to improve health, and conversely, to prevent it being threatened and undermined. The effectiveness of these activities is enhanced and underpinned by collaboration and alliance building among all sectors of society, applied research to improve the quality and effectiveness of health promotion, and training people to help them acquire skills to engage effectively in health promotion work.

Goals of IUHPE Increased health and wellbeing of populations throughout the world; Greater equity in health between and within countries of the world; Effective alliances and partnerships to produce improved health promotion outcomes; Broadly accessible evidence-based knowledge and practical experience in health promotion and health education; Excellence in policy and practice for effective, quality health promotion; High levels of capacity in individuals, organisations and countries to undertake health promotion and health education activities.
