What affects global health? • Health is COMPLEX – it includes illness AND well-being • It is NOT a priority, especially during times of austerity It NEEDS to become a priority It NEEDS to become integrated into ALL policies
How to fix this? 1. Better promotion of health and well-being 2. All actors MUST work together – better cooperation – without loss of sovereignty • NGOs • National Governments/International Organizations • EU / WHO / World Bank 3. Identify and use existing resources • no extra cost • identify and utilise existing resources • change of mind-set • work together 4. Identify and use existing knowledge • Use it! • Share it!
How long will this take? • Immediate • work together through the prioritisation of health • Short-term • existing-policies e.g. Europe 2020, Horizon 2020, • continuous prioritisation of health policies and placing health at the centre of agendas • Long-term • GOAL – Better Health for All
What will be the outcome of prioritisation? • Better health for all • Health at the centre of all policies at local, national, European and global levels • Use of Health Impact Assessment in all policy making, goal setting and policy evaluation • Recognition of linkages between health policies between health and other areas e.g. educational attainment, improved living standards... • Health impacts on all • Health as a global right OR......
How can we achieve this? • Better use of existing resources and knowledge • Advocacy • Networking
