AIM adopts Declaration on Health in all Policies
It is nowadays widely recognised that aspects of everyday life such as education, societal inclusion, housing standards, or meaningful employment, determine individuals’ health and wellbeing. Good health is not created by health service provision alone but also and mostly by other broader determinants which affect the circumstances in which people are born, study and age, determinants which can turn to be far from beneficial to citizens’ health. The declaration endorsed today is AIM´s response to this observation and includes its recommendations to EU institutions but also to all other stakeholders, whose involvement is essential in the achievement of health in all policies.
