Health in All Policies
A short Introduction
PAHO Health in All Policies (HiAP) is an approach to public policy that systematically takes into account the health implications of decisions, seeks synergies, and avoids harmful health impacts in order to improve population health and health equity. Many of the social, environmental, and economic determinants of health have origins that extend beyond the health sector and health policies. Therefore, it is important that the impact on health be considered across sectors and at all levels of governance.

PAHO This document serves as a “starter’s kit” for applying Health in All Policies (HiAP) in decision-making and implementation at national and subnational levels. It can be easily adapted for use in different country contexts and at the regional and global level. (pdf)
WHO This manual is a training resource to increase understanding of the importance of Health in All Policies among health and other professionals. The material will form the basis of 2- and 3-day workshops, which will build capacity to promote, implement and evaluate HiAP, encourage engagement and collaboration across sectors; facilitate the exchange of experiences and lessons learned;promote regional and global collaboration on HiAP; and promote dissemination of skills to develop training courses for trainers.
