Health promotion employs a diverse range of targeted and population-level social and environmental actions to advance health, well-being, and equity. It involves multi-sectoral collaboration to help communities, individuals, and governments address public health issues. Health promotion action takes the form of healthy public policy, creating environments that are supportive of health, and strengthening community and individual capacity and skills to improve their control over their health. In this course, students will be exposed to the fundamental concepts, principles, theories, and contemporary practices within the field of health promotion, as a core function of public health. Additionally, the course introduces the students to health promotion using lenses of health equity and social determinants of health. The curriculum aims to impart both practical and theoretical knowledge encompassing the planning, development, implementation, and evaluation of health promotion-focused public health interventions.
