Educating public health
- Providing training in public health
Description
Educating public health involves systematically informing and empowering individuals and communities about health risks, prevention, and healthy behaviors. This strategy aims to reduce disease incidence, improve health outcomes, and promote well-being by disseminating accurate information, fostering health literacy, and encouraging positive lifestyle changes. Practical actions include public campaigns, school programs, and community workshops, directly addressing misinformation, unhealthy practices, and barriers to care, thereby enabling informed decision-making and supporting effective disease prevention and health promotion.
Implementation
This strategy features in the framework of Agenda 21 as formulated at UNCED (Rio de Janeiro, 1992), now coordinated by the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development and implemented through national and local authorities.
