Over the past two months we have had a series of messages posted on this
list about the 'Bangkok Charter on Health Promotion', to be developed at
the World Health Organization's 6th Global Conference on Health Promotion.
That conference is now taking place in Bangkok Thailand.
Check out the WHO website for the conference at:
http://www.who.int/healthpromotion/conferences/6gchp/en/index.html
"Policy and Partnership for Action: Addressing the Determinants of
Health", Bangkok, Thailand, 7-11 August 2005
[from the website]
This conference is the latest in the series which began in Ottawa in 1986
and produced the Ottawa Charter on Health Promotion. This benchmark
conference was followed by Adelaide (1988), Sundsvall (1991), Jakarta
(1997) and Mexico-City (2000).
Almost 20 years later, many things have changed in the world, including
the impact of globalization, the internet, greater moves towards private
sector involvement in public health, emphasis on a sound evidence-based
approach and cost-effectiveness. The 6th Global Conference has been
convened to meet these challenges and to better exploit the opportunities
presented for health promotion in the 21st Century.
