Summary Practical approaches to health promotion within a district.
More Details Health Promotion is recognised as a critical component of Primary Health Care. In many districts, Health Promotion coordinators have been appointed. But it is not always clear what a Health Promotion coordinator is actually meant to do, and how they should prioritise their activities. Because Health Promotion cuts across all programme activities, there is also confusion about how Health Promotion relates to the work of other programme managers and coordinators. The experience from Mount Frere presented here gives some useful pointers on how health promotion activities can be made more efficient and effective, by describing the process of developing a strategy and work plan for the Health Promotion Section.
