Municipalities - the Central Actors in Health Prevention and Promotion
The increase in chronic diseases, the ever clearer connections in the public´s perception between poverty and health, and the overall crisis in the healthcare and health-insurance system have fired up the discussion surrounding the role of health prevention and promotion in general and in particular the potential role cities and towns play in this endeavor. How to best supervise and coordinate the local stakeholders while instituting health promotion that pays attention to the social disadvantages and special circumstances among the population as well as their personal life setting (community needs, health-related community work) have become the major topics of health prevention and promotion at the local level.
