Health in All Policies (HiAP) promotes integrating health considerations into decision-making across sectors and policy areas
HiAP recognizes health is influenced by various factors outside the health sector (education, housing, transportation)
Intersectoral collaboration involves different sectors working together to address complex health challenges
Requires coordination between government departments, private sector, and civil society organizations
Aims to create synergies and avoid unintended negative health consequences of non-health policies
Can lead to more effective and sustainable solutions for population health improvement
Policy Integration and Sustainable Development
Policy integration involves aligning policies across different sectors to achieve common health goals
Requires identifying shared objectives and potential conflicts between different policy areas
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a framework for integrating health into broader development agendas
SDGs emphasize interconnections between health, economic growth, social development, and environmental
Goal 3 of SDGs specifically focuses on ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all ages
Other SDGs (poverty reduction, education, gender equality) also have significant impacts on health outcomes
Social Determinants and Health Equity
Understanding Social Determinants of Health
Social determinants of health encompass conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work, and age
Include factors such as income, education, employment, social support networks, and physical
Significantly influence health outcomes and contribute to health inequalities
Addressing social determinants requires action beyond traditional healthcare systems
Can involve policies targeting poverty reduction, improving education access, and enhancing working conditions
Recognizing social determinants shifts focus from individual behaviors to broader societal factors affecting health
Promoting Health Equity through Urban Planning
Health equity aims to eliminate unfair and avoidable differences in health status among population groups
Requires addressing systemic barriers and social inequalities that lead to health disparities
Urban planning plays crucial role in promoting health equity by shaping living environments
Involves designing cities and neighborhoods to promote physical activity (walkable streets, bike lanes)
Ensures access to green spaces and recreational facilities for all residents
Considers equitable distribution of healthcare facilities and healthy food options across urban areas
