Principles of Ottawa Charter
According to WHO, the Ottawa Charter consists of six principles or strategies.
 Building health public policy
Health promotion prefers giving more priorities to the health care. The Ottawa

learning and exercise (WHO, 2019).
 Moving towards Future
Caring, holism and ecology are vital problems in emerging approaches for health
improvement. Thus, the participants should consider a supervisory belief that, in each
