TY - GEN TI - Intersectoral action for health: the role of intersectoral cooperation in national strategies for health for all PB - WHO KW - HEALTH KW - NUTRITION KW - SOCIAL JUSTICE KW - ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT KW - EDUCATION KW - HOUSING KW - COOPERATIVES N2 - Equity is the unifying theme of a policy for intersectoral action for health. The main policy priorities, whether they are related to the quality of life, problems of survival in developing countries or disease patterns emerging in urban industrial societies, concern the disparities between countries and within them. Also, they concern how these disparities can be reduced to improve the health of vulnerable groups. In order to achieve the goals of health for all, the health strategy must be applied equitably in terms of these priorities. (Extrated from document.) ER -
