Globalization and decentralization, the role of the media and various pressure groups (e.g. civil society organizations) have ever greater significance. Hence, in addition to its traditional functions of financing and/or service provision, it is well-understood that the health sector must work with other sectors and multiple actors in a more complex environment in order to improve health.
This is one the key message it has been written in the new book Health in All Policies (HiAP).
Health in All Policies (HiAP) is an approach to policies that systematically takes into account the health and health-system implications of decisions, seeks synergies, and avoids harmful health impacts to improve population health and health equity. It is founded on health-related rights and obligations and has great potential to improve population health and equity.
This volume published in collaboration with the National Institute for Health and Welfare of Finland (THL), the European Observatory on Health Systems-Who and United nations research institute for social development aims to improve our understanding of the dynamics of HiAP policy-making and implementation processes.
