Resources from the GNHiAP Seminar

The Global Network for Health in All Policies (GNHiAP) partnered with Tampere University to offer a seminar entitled Towards Sustainable Societies – Health in All Policies and Social Determinants of Health as Building Blocks, held in September 2023, in Finland.

The seminar brought together practitioners and researchers to reflect on Health in All Policies (HiAP) and on the social and commercial determinants affecting health and equity. It addressed questions on how to enable HiAP approaches to advocate for equity and social policies to ensure sustainability and broader uptake of HiAP to address the social determinants of health. The NCCHPP is proud to have contributed to this event as the Secretariat for the GNHIAP, a mandate it has held since 2020. The following resources from the seminar are now available:
