IHIA (Integrated Health Impact Assessment)

Integrated Health Impact Assessment (IHIA) is a process that evaluates how a proposed project, policy, or development might affect public health. It considers various factors such as environmental changes, social conditions, and economic impacts to understand their combined effect on people's health and well-being. By integrating these aspects, IHIA helps decision-makers identify potential health risks and opportunities early, promoting interventions that protect and improve community health while balancing other development goals.
