The Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion

Five priority action areas to support the three strategies:

- Health Promotion, Risk Reduction, and Capacity-Building Strategies

Health Promotion and Risk Reduction

Health promotion refers to health education and related organizational, economic, and environmental supports for behavioral individuals, groups, or communities conducive to health.
Health protection refers to behaviors that prevent disease, detect disease in early stages, or maximize health within the constraints of disease.
Risk reduction is a proactive process in which individuals participate in behaviors that enable them to react to actual or potential threats to their health.

Diet and Health

A healthy diet contributes to the prevention of chronic diseases such as Type 2 Diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and some cancers.
Diet is one of the most modifiable risk factors for chronic diseases.

Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Diseases

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a group of disorders of the heart and blood vessels.
CVDs include coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, and peripheral arterial disease.

Cancer

One of the most common causes of death worldwide.
In the Philippines, 50,000 cancer cases have been recorded, and this number is estimated to increase by 5% every year.
Prevention and detection measures include promoting signs of cancer, such as changes in bowel or bladder habits, unusual bleeding, and unexplained weight loss.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

A disease of the lungs in which the airways narrow over time.
Includes chronic bronchitis, chronic asthma, and emphysema.

Diabetes

Hyperglycemia is a common effect of diabetes.

Mental Health

It is an integral part of every individual, referring to a state of social well-being in which every individual realizes their own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, and can work productively and fruitfully.
Mental health and well-being is a concern of all, and addressing concerns related to mental health contributes to the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Mental health programs include a wide range of promotive, preventive, treatment, and rehabilitative services, integrated in various treatment settings from community to facility, and backed with institutional support mechanisms from different government agencies and CSOs.
