AND
STRATEGIES
PRESENTATION BY: A.B MASEME
WHAT IS HEALTH?
Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.
A resource for everyday life, not the objective of living. SOURCE: WHO
DETERMINATES OF HEALTH
HEALTH PROMOTION
It is a process of enabling people to have increased control over and improve their health.
LEVELS OF PREVENTION
Primary preventionThe prevention of the onset of diseases e.g. immunisation,
encouraging non smoking, family planning, condom distribution and demonstrations.
o Secondary preventionPreventing the progression of the disease- encourage screening for
early detection and management.
Tertiary prevention Reducing further disability and suffering by those already ill by
means of rehabilitation, patient education, palliative care and support groups.
STRATEGIES
ADVOCACY
The determinates of health can either favour or be harmful to health. Health promotion action aims at making these conditions favourable
through advocacy for health.
ENABLEMENT
Reducing current differences in health status and ensuring equal opportunities and resources. This includes supportive
environments, access to information, life skills and opportunities to make healthy choices.
MEDIATION
Coordinating actions by all concerned. Improved Health is the responsibility of everyone.
