Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion
“The World Health Organization’s Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion is a seminal document of the new public health. The charter was influential in guiding the development of the settings approach.
This moved interventions upstream away from merely focusing on individuals who are ill and towards organisations, systems and the environment that can be used to prevent ill-health and promote health.”
