Description
The National Health Plan 2001 - 2010 cites the development of a national policy on health promotion as one of the major responsibilities of the national level health management.While there is no single definition of policy, this policy is being developed as a statement of intent or direction to provide guidelines for coordinated health promotion decisions and action across institutional settings. This policy is an agreement between the stakeholders represented in its development about the principles that should underpin health promotion and the best practice for effective health promotion that will result in improved health outcomes. While this policy itself is not enforceable through legislation, it supports the development and enforcement of healthy public policies.
