Promote health in the new paradigm

Abstract

Promoting health is now an obligation in the various health systems, articulated to actions that aim to respond to the diversity of social needs not dissociated from human potentialities. In the new paradigm of intervention of the health sector the approach goes beyond national considerations, appealing to the participation of actors and partnerships and the articulation between research and clinical practice. In this pact, everyone will have a role to play in disseminating reference practices - citizens, health professionals, educators, workers in the various sectors, municipalities and the Government(2) . Changes in the coming years will pose challenges for all sectors of society (from education, the environment, the economy, the quality of services and skills of professionals), where policies will play an important role for their demands on health promotion(3) .
