La promotion de la santé et la prévention des maladies nécessitent une action multisectorielle qui renforce les environnements favorables à la santé et oriente les comportements. Au niveau des cantons et des communes, de nombreuses politiques, telles
la protection de la jeunesse, la promotion ...de la santé à l’école, la promotion de la santé et de la sécurité au travail, l’action sociale, le soutien au logement, la promotion de l’intégration, l’aménagement du territoire, la gestion de la mobilité ou la protection
de l’environnement sont des leviers très efficaces pour améliorer l’état de santé de la population.
L’argumentaire «Promouvoir la santé et prévenir les maladies» a pour objectif d’expliquer les enjeux et
d’inciter les personnes actives dans ces divers domaines à intégrer la promotion de la santé dans leurs activités et projets. Cela exige de leur mettre à disposition des informations actuelles et facilement compréhensibles

L’approche a été recommandée en 1986 suite à l’adoption de la ch...arte d’Ottawa par les États membres de l’Organisation mondiale de la santé (OMS). Depuis cette
date, plusieurs conférences internationales ont porté sur l’élucidation de différents aspects de la charte. De nouvelles données ont éveillé les consciences sur les inégalités de santé et encouragé les États à agir dans le sens de l’équité en matière de santé.

(CHOs), nurses, midwives and medical officers. Colour-coding is used to clearly delineate the scope of practice of these different cadres and clarify referral pathways. This integration promotes a team-based approach to a patient’s care and enables patients to receive consistent and standardized care from whichever cadre treats them.

Developing countries are already at a crisis point in health care provision, and time demands a new approach  in  structuring  medical  resources.  Primary  care  is t...he vital pillar for fundamental health care at community level and has been deemed as a cost-effective modality. In  the  West  the  primary  care  physician  manages  chronic  medical  conditions  in  communities  and  therefore  reduces  unnecessary hospital admissions. In the West, the primary care system is extremely well organised. Low-income countries must improve teaching, training and funding in primary care.  In  this  article  the  urgent  need  for  primary  care  is  discussed in developing countries, and ways to minimise costs and improve clinical outcomes at community level.

A Fund...ação ProAR é a líder oficial das atividades do PACK no Brasil. Mais informações sobre a ProAR podem ser encontradas em: www.fundacaoproar.org.br
O PACK foi adaptado, traduzido, implementado e avaliado em serviços de atenção primária brasileiros entre 2015 e 2017. Um ensaio clínico randomizado concluiu que o PACK qualificou o atendimento clínico de pacientes adultos com doenças respiratórias crônicas na atenção primária e apoiou o compartilhamento do cuidado entre médicos e enfermeiros. Desde então, foi revisado anualmente, estando alinhado com as políticas públicas locais. Em 2021, foi desenvolvido conteúdos adicionais sobre o manejo da COVID-19.

primary care and public health, but also sizeable obstacles to achieving
this, such as differences in the ways the two sectors are organised and
financed, as well as differences in education, culture and approach.
This article, based on a new... Observatory policy brief, describes the
types of interventions that come into consideration, the principles
that should be followed, and the factors that can facilitate successful
collaboration. While there is no universal template that can be followed
by all countries, improved integration promises to yield substantial
benefits to patients and wider populations.

The  current  article  is  an  integrative  and  analytical  literature  review  on  the  concept and  meaning  of  empathy  in  health  and  social  care  professionals.   Empathy,  i.e.,  the  ability  to understand  the  perso...nal  experience  of  the  patient  without  bonding  with  them,  constitutes  an important communication skill for a health professional, one that includes three dimensions:  the emotional, cognitive, and behavioral. It has been proven that health professionals with high levels of empathy operate more efficiently as to the fulfillment of their role in eliciting therapeutic change.The empathetic professional comprehends the needs of the health care users, as the latter feel safe to express the thoughts and problems that concern them. Although the importance of empathy is undeniable, a significantly high percentage of health professionals seem to find it difficult to adopt a model of empathetic communication in their everyday practice. Some of the factors that negatively influence the development of empathy are the high number of patients that professionals have to manage, the lack of adequate time, the focus on therapy within the existing academic culture, but also the lack of education in empathy. Developing empathetic skills should not only be the underlying objective in the teaching process of health and social care undergraduate students, but also the subject of the lifelong and continuous education of professionals

developed this operational guide to provide policy direction on COVID-19 response at community level. This guide has
been developed in collaboration with all the implementing cou...ntries in supporting prevention and control of COVID-19.
With a strong community COVID-19 response system at community level, we can all contribute to prevention and control
of COVID-19, and thereby improve health and livelihoods for all people

Climate resilient and environmentally sustainable health care facilities contribute to high quality of care and accessibility of services, and by helping reduce facility costs also ensure better affordability. They are, therefore, an important component of universal health coverage (UHC).
