ARINGAZINA ET AL Abstract The Republic of Kazakhstan is one of the largest and fastest growing post-Soviet economies in Central Asia. Despite recent improvements in health care in response to Kazakhstan 2030 and other state-mandated policy reforms, Kazakhstan still lags behind other members of the Commonwealth of Independent States of the European Region on key indicators of health and economic development. Although cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of mortality among adults, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and blood-borne infectious diseases are of increasing public health concern. Recent data suggest that while Kazakhstan has improved on some measures of population health status, many environmental and public health challenges remain. These include the need to improve public health infrastructure, address the social determinants of health, and implement better health impact assessments to inform health policies and public health practice.

  • Health in All Policies (Hiap): Frequently Asked Questions
    Health in All Policies (HiAP): Frequently Asked Questions 1. What is Health in All Policies (HiAP)? HiAP is a strategy to assist leaders and policymakers in integrating considerations of health, well-being, and equity during the development, implementation, and evaluation of policies and services. HiAP strategies are meant to ensure that all policies and services from all sectors have beneficial or neutral impacts on the determinants of health. 1 2. How does HiAP differ from health impact assessment (HIA)? HIA is a tool that local health departments and others can use to assess a single proposed decision and its potential impact on health. 2 HiAP is an approach that uses multiple strategies to systematize and integrate the governmental decision-making process across agencies so that health is considered.1 HIA is one tool that can be used as part of a larger array of tactics to address the determinants of health through HiAP. 3. What is the difference between HiAP and Healthy Public Policies? “Healthy public policies” is a precursor to HiAP that emerged in the 1980s to put health on policymakers’ agendas. Healthy public policies tended to focus on the process of policymaking and achieving incremental change. 1 HiAP is a paradigm shift of whole-of- government, horizontal health governance, where health becomes systemized as a standard part of the policy-formation process, and agencies are driven to integrate the policy formation process under a health lens. 1 4. What is the history of HiAP? Emerging in 2006, HiAP was a major theme during the Finnish Presidency of the EU with the aim of strengthening existing legislation that required ensuring human protection in the formation and implementation of policies.3 It sought to create large, horizontal systems change that changed how all of government functioned.

    Explaining the Indicators of Good Governance in the Health System Revista Publicando, 5 No 15. (2). 2018, 965-986. ISSN 1390-9304 Explaining the Indicators of Good Governance in the Health System Faranak Jafari1, kamran hajinabi1, katayoun jahangiri1*, Leila Riahi1 1 Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences , Tehran, Iran, [email protected] ABSTRACT Realizing the goals and policies of the health system becomes possible by recognizing the indicators of good governance in the field of health and then, the measures of government to improve these indicators. In this study, we have first discussed the general concept of good governance and the governance of the health system and then, we have explained the indicators of good governance that are considered in the field of public governance and the health system governance. Although, in good governance, a series of principles and basic features related to good governance are considered as international and for all countries and governments, it should be noted that the implementation of them in different countries is different and that what needs to be done and prioritized in a specific country is a matter that needs to be studied. Hence, countries must recognize and identify their national and domestic models of good governance, and to do so, identifying the historical experience of a country, its culture and its domestic values is essential.

  • Health in All Policies
    PUBLIC HEALTH DIVISION http://Public.Health.Oregon.gov Health in All Policies Issue Health in All Policies (HiAP) is a collaborative approach that emphasizes consideration of the public’s health and well-being in policy decisions across all sectors. It provides a lever for governments to address the key determinants of health through a systematic approach.1 HiAP is based on the recognition that population health is largely determined by living conditions and other societal and economic factors (also known as the social determinants of health) and therefore influenced by policies and actions beyond the primary scope of the health care sector.2 Why this is important for Oregon The state’s most challenging health problems, including obesity, chronic diseases, and widening health inequities, are driven by such things as the built environment; transportation options; access to food; and educational and economic opportunities. In order to address these complex problems and improve the public’s health, it is necessary to ensure that all policies in all sectors promote health. Health in All Policies approaches that work Integrate health considerations into non-health decision-making processes Use health impact assessments (HIAs) to determine the potential health and health equity impacts of a proposed policy or program and provide recommendations on how to minimize negative health outcomes and promote positive health outcomes. Promote specific policies outside the traditional health sector Develop transportation policies that promote active transportation; school policies that increase physical activity during the school day. Develop policies based on the success of other states Create a multidisciplinary task force to recommend priority programs, strategies and policies to improve the health of Oregonians.
