FYI.... Public Health Information we can all use ........ What is Health in All Policies? The health sector, acting alone, cannot manage threats to health that have their root causes in many other sectors. For example: • Working with employers, worker unions and international partners such as the International Labour Organization (ILO) to change working conditions can reduce accidents and injuries at the work place. • Working with municipalities to provide public transportation at night can reduce road traffic death and injuries among teens. • Working with employers, schools, local authorities and civil society to provide incentives for physical activity (e.g. cycling, gardening) can reduce obesity among the population. Can you think of other examples? Photo: WHO/Anna Kari Photo: What is Health in All Policies?
