Health in all areas of politics
Health in all Policies This means: health in all policy areas
Our goal is: equal health conditions for all.
To achieve this, the healthcare system must be improved.
But it needs to be improved even more.
Living conditions have a major influence on people's health.
Living conditions are for example
Living conditions and the living environment
Environmental conditions
Working conditions
Income
Therefore, it is not enough if only the health system changes.
All areas of policy must take people's health into account.
These areas of policy are, for example
Housing construction
Labour market
Education system
Urban development
Decisions in all areas have an impact on health.
This is why policy-makers must pay attention to the impact on health in all areas.
To do this, we need a new political strategy.
Strategy means that there is a plan for achieving a specific goal.
This is what we need for the new strategy:
different agencies and stakeholders need to work together
Different experts need to work together and exchange ideas
This is how new projects can be created.
These are the goals of the new projects
better living conditions
new structures that are good for health
less social inequality.
In this way, the health of all people can be improved.
