Health in All Policies (HAP)
- An approach to public policies across sectors, considering health impacts and creating synergies.
- Aiming to improve population health and address health inequities.
Impacts of HAP
- Policy implications include promoting clean fuels for household energy, improving transportation options (transit, walking, cycling), utilizing low emission fuels, and more compact energy-efficient urban planning.
- These policies also include waste management practices (such as SRR and biological waste processing), connecting sectors, tracking data on air pollution and health gains, and introducing clean technologies.
Why Governments Need HAP
- HAP is crucial due to major health challenges like respiratory diseases, health inequities, climate change, and rising healthcare costs.
- A main goal is to promote healthy communities and address social determinants of health, such as public transportation, education, access to healthy food, and economic opportunities.
Health Equity
- Defined as every person having the opportunity to achieve their full health potential, without disadvantages based on social position or circumstances.
All for Health, Health for All: WH0 Investment Case (2025-2028)

-
Unfair and avoidable differences exist in health status within countries.
-
Specific examples of SDOH include: Income and social protection, Education, Unemployment, Working life, Food insecurity, Housing, Early childhood development, Social inclusion, and Access to Healthcare.
