Overview: 7th Global Conference on Health Promotion
The immediate outcomes
Technical product
A consultation is under way with global health programs, developing a practical package of evidence on health promotion interventions that addresses the top health risks and the conditions with the highest disease burden. This product will be presented to the tracks of the conference and examined in the light of experience from countries, emerging as consolidated, practical guidance for countries.
Call to action
- A political statement that calls for the inclusion of health promotion outcomes within the design of development programs will be drafted through an expert- and Web-based consultation in the months leading up to the conference and will be adopted on the last day of the conference.
- Advocacy for extending the international development goals to include noncommunicable conditions will also proceed in parallel. The possibility of a launch of a Partnership Council on Noncommunicable Diseases is being considered.
