About the Health Promotion Program
The Health Promotion Program, a newly established research initiative at the National Institutes of Health, was launched through a seed grant from the Philippine Department of Health as part of its long-term strategy to deepen the country's expertise in health promotion research.
To contribute to empowering Filipinos to take charge of their well-being, the Health Promotion Program employs a multifaceted approach that combines rigorous research with capacity building, policy and community engagement, and strategic communication. Drawing on a unique blend of research and practical experience, the Health Promotion Program's pioneering team brings together diverse disciplines like public health, health promotion, policy, epidemiology, communication, and social sciences, fostering an interdisciplinary approach to health promotion research.
What is Health Promotion?
Health promotion is a proactive and holistic approach to enhancing well-being and preventing illness, encompassing a range of strategies aimed at empowering individuals and communities to make informed choices about their health. Health promotion involves education, advocacy, and the creation of supportive environments to encourage positive lifestyle changes. By promoting healthy behaviors, fostering community engagement, and influencing policies that contribute to overall well-being, health promotion seeks to achieve a state of complete physical, mental, and social health for individual and communities.
