A Global Charter for the Public’s Health: a key tool to improve public health worldwide

Abstract

The Charter Global Charter for the Public’s Health, developed by the World Federation of Public Health Associations (WFPHA) jointly with the WHO, is a comprehensive framework that can make a significant difference in public health and facilitate the global achievement of the SDGs and the global response to health threats. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the main threats to health of our century. In this thesis, a real case scenario of the Global Charter for the Public’s Health implementation in the anti-microbial resistance context is considered. The Global Charter for the Public’s Health can pave the way for the global intersectoral actions needed to successfully tackle this threat. This can be achieved through the effective implementation of its core services (Prevention, Protection and Promotion) and its enabler functions (Information, Capacity, Advocacy and Governance)
