PROJECT OVERVIEW The science and practice of the New Public Health (NPH) today play an important role in sustainable health development and provide tools in ENPI South Countries for transition to a modern civil society, as well as to significantly improve the health and well-being of populations, reduce health inequalities, strengthen public health and ensure people-centred health systems that are universal, equitable, sustainable and of high quality.
NEW PUBLIC HEALTH AND HEALTH PROMOTION
PROJECT OVERVIEW The existing health care system in ENPI south region (orientated towards specialists) is not in position to combat the numerous health problems related to the living environment and lifestyles of the population. Furthermore, the existing knowledge in public health is still based on the traditional bio-medical approach, which is inadequate to provide solution for the current health and health policy priorities.
Specialists knowledge in the field of public health is confined within different and particular specialist branches (epidemiology, hygiene, social medicine, health statistics and informatics, and occupational medicine). Overall public health is medically orientated, with very little participation of other professions in the design and implementation of its programmes and activities. The education of public health personnel is not multi-professional (which can best be achieved in postgraduate programmes).
PROJECT OVERVIEW In order to meet the above mentioned needs as well as to train new public health professionals and successful managers of health care institutions, the Master of Health Policy and Management course must be developed. The programme will provide public health professionals en ENPI SOUTH Region with the necessary skills in contemporary management and policy analysis, with the knowledge to use these skills effectively, and to develop the values that are essential for addressing the unique problems and humanistic goals of health care and public health.
