Regional Workshop on Implementation of Health in All Policies

Overview

“Health in All Policies” was built on the foundation of the WHO Declaration of Alma-Alta on Primary Health Care (1978); the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion (1986); the Adelaide Recommendations on Healthy Public Policy (1988) and subsequent global health promotion conferences; the Gothenburg Consensus Paper on Health Impact Assessment (1999); the Declaration on Health in All Policies, Rome (2007), the Adelaide Statement on Health in All Policies (2010). Health is seen as a positive concept that could bring attention to other sectors. Member States were called upon to promote healthy public policies to ensure other sectors consider health while developing policies and plans.
