-
health promotion is centered on the values and
principles of equity, participation, and
empowerment.
health promotion must be much more active in
supporting the global efforts to address equity in
health and development represented on
the UN's MDGs

Health

„the process of enabling people to increase control
over, and to improve their health‟ (WHO,1986)‟.
„Health promotion represents a comprehensive
social and political process, it not only embraces
actions directed at strengthening the skills and
capabilities of individuals, but also action directed
towards changing social, environmental and
economic conditions so as to alleviate their impact
on public and individual health. Health promotion is
the process of enabling people to increase control
over the determinants of health and thereby
improve their health (WHO 1998)‟.

Any intentional activity which is designed to
achieve health or illness-related learning, that
is, some permanent change in an individual's
capability or disposition‟ (Tones 2004: 7).
Freire proposes that the main strategy of
empowerment education, critical dialogue, requires
us to engage in a process of problem posing rather
than a process of problem solving.
6.
All people have strengths and are capable of determining their own needs, finding
their own answers, and solving their own problems.
Every person and family lives within a social-historical context that helps shape their
identity and social relationships.
Diversity is positively valued.
People without power have as much capacity as the powerful to assess their own
needs (people are their own experts).
Relationships between people and groups need to be organized to provide an equal
balance of power (professional/client ).
The power of defining health problems and needs belongs to those experiencing the
problem.
The people disadvantaged by the way that society is currently structured must play
the primary role in developing the strategies by which they gain increased control over
valued resources.
Empowerment is not something that occurs purely from within (only I can empower
myself), nor is it something that can be done to others (we need to empower the
group).
Shared power relations do not deny health professionals their specialized expertise
and skills.

The more recent emphasis on health in the context
of globalization makes the necessity for health
promotion to engage with larger social movements,
particularly on the global development agenda, even
more apparent.
Health promotion suspended between its
constitutive desire to become one with the
„community‟ and its real position as a mediating
professional fraction, often acting on behalf of
formal public institutions.

Health Promotion Glossary describes what equity in
health entails: „That all people have an equal
opportunity to develop and maintain their
health, through fair and just access to resources for
health‟.
Health promotion must fully engage with recent work
in political philosophy, particularly in the arguments
surrounding the concept of social justice
As health promoters, charged with the responsibility
to advocate, enable, and mediate for equity in
health, we should be armed with the very best
arguments supporting our position.

(MDGs) adopted by all UN Member States in 2000,
have become a universal framework for
development and a vehicle by which low- and
middle-income countries and their development
partners can work together „in pursuit of a shared
future for all.
In year 2005, the preventative health inequities
reported are overwhelming and their impact is
devastating. Even more discouraging is a call within
the report for high-income countries to scale up
their response if we are to have any hope of
meeting these goals.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, health

population health—began to replace health
promotion in many government and health policy
circles.

Health promotion is a complex, often ambiguous
concept and set of practices. It has an intimate
connection with health education and has its roots
in the deep history of public health.
The foundational principles of health promotion are
equity, participation, and empowerment.
Health promotion must take its duty to enable
people to control the determinants of their health
seriously.
To achieve its goals health promotion must engage
directly with political philosophy and it must be
aware of the dynamics of the global political
economy and its effect on health.
Notas del editor
Health promotion represents a comprehensive social and political process, it not only embraces actions directed at strengthening the skills and capabilities of individuals, but also action directed towards changing social, environmental and economic conditions so as to alleviate their impact on public and individual health.
Health education plays a profound role in the history of health promotion. This refers to whatknowledge, attitudes, or skills can be acquired by individuals through a variety of health educationprocesses.
These strategies are supported by five priority action areas as outlined in the Ottawa Charter (action strategies)
Active Living/Go for Green” programpractices that are both healthy and environmentally-friendly.
This action area is at the very heart of health promotion; in fact, it can be argued that it is in this oneaction area where the basic principles of health promotion lie
