Health promoting services are a vital and valuable societal service<\/strong>. They include organised efforts to strengthen the skills and capabilities of individuals, as well as efforts to change social, environmental and economic conditions to alleviate their impact on public health and wellbeing. Investing in health promoting services is key for recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and in building sustainable societies.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The intention of this e-guide is to assist health and social care planners, policymakers at national, regional and local levels<\/strong> in developing and financing of health promoting services that benefit health and wellbeing for all. We aim to inspire through a body of evidence that includes examples drawn from across the world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

    In this e-guide we present different ways to design and implement health promoting services, with attention paid to different processes and procedures of financing. It delineates solutions for financing and delivering health promoting services through a range of cross-sectoral <\/strong>case studies<\/strong><\/a>. In addition, the e-guide presents a set of public health-focused investment criteria<\/a><\/strong> for potential investors or financial managers. The criteria aim to bridge the gap between public health and financial investment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
