Description
Summary:Causality is a difficult concept, but I have little doubt that such key ideas as concern with the health of marginalized peoples, concern with health as an area of policy and advocacy in sectors outside the biomedical sector, and a general concern with those socio-economic factors that underlie the health of the public significantly emerged from the work of IUHPE and other key global health organizations. [...]the pandemic of 2020 has revealed with great clarity the necessity and key role of global health promotion in the future of the public’s health. The challenge for an organization like IUHPE is to continually address the fundamental issues that drive health promotion as a concept and to convey the message of health promotion to the public at large, but most importantly to the field of public health.
