PRINCIPLES OF PRIMARY HEALTH CARE
Introduction
The Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion (WHO 1986) is a 30-year-old
document, which marks a regulatory in the development of health promotion across the
globe. It was revalidated at the latest Bangkok, 6th Global Conference on Health Promotion.
This conference mentions clear outcome about nurses' influence around the world along with
health development policy and research(Kobrin&Rendle, 2017). Various factors are
responsible for marketing the health and illness in society; however, some remain unnoticed.
Income, employment, education, poverty and access to community resources are some factors
that affect the physical health and mental health. Such aspects let people make decisions
about the situation and eventually results in influence over health (Wallace et al., 2015). The
Charter highlights the below action areas to curb the source are building a healthy public
policy for everyone, Crafting supportive environments for the patients, Solidifying
community action by bringing all together, Developing or enhancing personal skills to show
efforts to get better and Re-orienting or re-designing healthcare services to prevent illness and
promote better health
Summarizing all into three factors of Advocacy, Enablement, and Meditation.
Advocacy means encouraging the person with social and developmental changes. Making
aware and showing related cases can assist people. Enablement here implies that the
knowledge and information should be passed to all so that they can decide for themselves on
what can and what can't affect their health. Doing so they would take the necessary measure
to lead a quality of life. Mediation thus means that it is not just the responsibility of various
sectors of government (social, economic, financial, and educational, etc.) but also of
independent organizations (media, industries, each national, etc.) to make everyone aware.
Global level reach should be attained.
