Health in All Policies (HiAP)

Health in All Policies (HiAP) is an approach that integrates health considerations into the decision-making processes of government sectors beyond healthcare, such as transportation, housing, education, and the environment. The goal is to improve health outcomes and reduce health inequities by ensuring policies in all areas support healthy living. This collaborative strategy recognizes that factors like clean air, safe neighborhoods, and quality education significantly influence health. By working across disciplines, HiAP aims to create healthier communities through coordinated efforts that consider health impacts at every stage of policymaking.
