HEALTH PROMOTION • Healthpromotion is, as stated in the 1986 World Health Organization (WHO) Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion, "the process of enabling people to increase control over, and to improve, their health. To reach a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, an individual or group must be able to identify and to realize aspirations, to satisfy needs, and to change or cope with the environment. Health is, therefore, seen as a resource for everyday life, not the objective of living. Health is a positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources, as well as physical capacities. Therefore, health promotion is not just the responsibility of the health sector, but goes beyond healthy life-styles to well-being".

- 46. primary health care? •Primary health care is an approach to health and wellbeing centred on the needs and circumstances of individuals, families and communities. It addresses comprehensive and interrelated physical, mental and social health and wellbeing. • It is about providing whole-person care for health needs throughout life, not just treating a set of specific diseases. Primary health care ensures people receive comprehensive care, ranging from promotion and prevention to treatment, rehabilitation and palliative care as close as feasible to people’s every day environment.
- 54. WHO has developeda cohesive definition of primary health care based on three components: • ensuring people’s health problems are addressed through comprehensive promotive, protective, preventive, curative, rehabilitative, and palliative care throughout the life course, strategically prioritizing key system functions aimed at individuals and families and the population as the central elements of integrated service delivery across all levels of care; • systematically addressing the broader determinants of health (including social, economic, environmental, as well as people’s characteristics and behaviours) through evidence-informed public policies and actions across all sectors; and • empowering individuals, families, and communities to optimize their health, as advocates for policies that promote and protect health and wellbeing, as co-developers of health and social services through their participation, and as self-carers and care-givers to others.
- 55. WHO uses 16essential health services in 4 categories as indicators of the level and equity of coverage in countries: • Reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health: • family planning • antenatal and delivery care • full child immunization • health-seeking behaviour for pneumonia.
- 56. Infectious diseases: • tuberculosistreatment • HIV antiretroviral treatment • Hepatitis treatment • use of insecticide-treated bed nets for malaria prevention • adequate sanitation.
- 57. Non -communicable diseases: •prevention and treatment of raised blood pressure • prevention and treatment of raised blood glucose • cervical cancer screening • tobacco (non-)smoking.
- 58. Service capacity andaccess: • basic hospital access • health worker density • access to essential medicines • health security: compliance with the International Health Regulations.
- 59. KEY MESSAGE FORALL • Health is a human right; it’s time for health for all. • We know universal health coverage is possible, let’s make it happen! • Universal health coverage means that all people have access to the quality health services they need, when and where they need them, without financial hardship. • At least half of the people in the world do not receive the health services they need. • About 100 million people are pushed into extreme poverty each year because of out-of-pocket spending on health. • But who are these people and how can we help them? To get a better picture of who is missing out, we need data that is broken down by gender, age, income, location, education and other factors that affect access to health services.
- 60. CONTINUED • Health isa human right; everyone should have the information and services they need to take care of their own health and the health of their families. • Quality, accessible primary health care is the foundation for universal health coverage. • Unsafe and low-quality health care ruins lives and costs the world trillions of dollars every year, we must do more to improve the quality and safety of health services globally. • Primary health care should be the first level of contact with the health system, where individuals, families and communities receive most of their health care—from promotion and prevention to treatment, rehabilitation and palliative care—as close as possible to where they live and work.

- 63. CONTINUED • At itsheart, primary health care is about caring for people and helping them improve their health or maintain their well-being, rather than just treating a single disease or condition. • Primary health care covers the majority of your health needs throughout your life including services such as screening for health problems, vaccines, information on how to prevent disease, family planning, treatment for long- and short-term conditions, coordination with other levels of care, and rehabilitation. • Primary health care is a cost-effective and equitable way of delivering health services and helping countries make progress towards universal health coverage. • A health system with strong primary health care delivers better health outcomes, is cost-efficient and improves quality of care.
- 64.
- 65. MAIN ROLE OFSTAKEHOLDER
- 66. CONTINUED • Health workershave a crucial role to play educating patients on how to take care of their health, coordinating care and advocating for their patients’ needs to health facility managers and policy-makers. • Primary health-care workers have a continuing and trusted relationship with their patients and know their health history; knowing the full picture helps improve their care and saves money. • Primary health-care workers know the traditions, cultures and practices of their communities, making them indispensable during an outbreak or emergency. • To make health for all a reality, we need: individuals and communities who have access to high quality health services so that they take care of their own health and the health of their families; skilled health workers providing quality, people-centred care; and policy-makers committed to investing in primary health care.
- 67.
- 68.
- 69. Conclusion • Each countryis unique, and each country may focus on different areas, or develop their own ways of measuring progress towards UHC. But there is also value in a global approach that uses standardized measures that are internationally recognized so that they are comparable across borders and over time.
