Appendix 3Charter and resolutionCharter from the First International Conference on Health PromotionOttawa, Canada, 17–21 November 1986Health PromotionHealth promotion is the process of enabling people to increase control over, and to improve, their health. Toreach a state of complete physical mental and social wellbeing, an individual or group must be able toidentify and to realize aspirations, to satisfy needs, and to change or cope with the environment. Health is,therefore, seen as a resource fo everyday life, not the objective of living. Health is a positive conceptemphasizing social and personal resources, as well as physical capacities. Therefore, health promotion is notjust the responsibility of the health sector, but goes beyond healthy lifestyles to wellbeing.Prerequisites for healthThe fundamental conditions and resources for health are peace, shelter, education, food, income, a stableecosystem, sustainable resources, social justice and equity. Improvement in health requires a securefoundation in these basic prerequisites.AdvocateGood health is a major resource for social, economic and personal development and an important dimensionof quality of life. Political, economic, social, cultural, environmental, behavioural and biological factors canall favour health or be harmful to it. Health promotion action aims at making these conditions favourablethrough advocacy for health.EnableHealth promotion focuses on achieving equity in health. Health promotion action aims at reducingdifferences in current health status and ensuring equal opportunities and resources to enable all people toachieve their fullest health potential. This includes a secure foundation in a supportive environment, accessto information, life skills and opportunities for making healthy choices. People cannot achieve their fullesthealth potential unless they are able to take control of those things which determine their health. This mustapply equally to women and men.MediateThe prerequisites and prospects for health cannot be ensured by the health sector alone. More importantly,health promotion demands coordinated action by all concerned: by governments, by health and other socialand economic sectors, by nongoverwnental and voluntary organizations, by local authorities, by industry andby the media. People in all walks of life are involved as individuals, families and communities. Professionaland social groups and health personnel have a major responsibility to mediate between differing interests insociety for the pursuit of health.Health promotion strategies and programmes should be adapted to the local needs and possibilities ofindividual countries and regions to take into account differing social, cultural and economic systems.50 European guidelines for youth AIDS peer education
