Dear Esteemed participants
Let me take this opportunity to welcome you to this important module of foundations of Health Promotion.
Health promotion is a process of enabling individuals, groups, and communities to increase control over their own health and its determinants, empowering them to improve their well being through increased health literacy and multisectoral action to foster healthy behaviours and environment.
Health Promotion focuses on prevention by promoting healthy lifestyles and addressing social, economic, and environmental factors that influence health outcomes.
Therefore once you understand these concepts of Health Promotion you will realize that Health promotion encompasses almost everything on earth and each affects health either positively or negatively.
