Health and Gender Promotion Services

Our intervention approach to reduce morbidity, mortality, inequalities and social and gender-based violence is based on three key principles:

• Prevention is better than cure;

• Mastery of health determinants is the cornerstone of well-being;

• Gender-based approach and women's empowerment guarantees a bright future.

Health promotion is a process that enables individuals to better master the determinants of their health and improve their well-being, through intervention strategies and active population participation.

Health determinants taken into account

• Individual factors – Biological (age, sex, genetics); behaviors (diet, physical activity, tobacco/alcohol, sexual behaviors).
• Social factors – Income and social status; education and literacy; employment and working conditions; social support and coping capacity.
• Economic factors – Access to health care; housing and food security; infrastructure and basic services (drinking water, sanitation).
• Environmental factors – Physical environment (air, water, toxins); social environment (violence, discrimination, inequalities).
• Health system – Quality of care; prevention and health promotion (policies and programs).
