“We have to fundamentally change the way that leaders in politics, the private sector, and international institutions think about and value health, and to promote growth that is based on health and well-being for people and the planet, for countries in all income levels.” It begins in our homes and communities, with the food we eat and the water we drink, the air we breathe, in our schools and our workplaces,” said Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director General. “Health does not begin in a hospital or clinic. This charter will drive policy-makers and world leaders to adopt this approach and commit to concrete action. It highlighted the need for global commitments to achieve equitable health and social outcomes now and for future generations, without destroying the health of our planet. The charter builds on the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion and the legacy of nine global conferences on health promotion. Over 4500 participants of the Global Conference, who met virtually and in Geneva, Switzerland, agreed on a Geneva Charter for Well-being.
A focus on well-being encourages different sectors to work together to address global challenges and help people take control over their health and lives. The 10 th Global Conference on Health Promotion on 13-15 December 2021 marked the start of a global movement on the concept of well-being in societies.
The COVID-19 pandemic brought into sharp focus the importance of resilient societies. Past epidemics showed us the importance of resilient health systems.
