The Political Declaration from the United Nations High-Level Meeting on Universal Health Coverage: Moving Together to Build a Healthier World (2019) provided important reaffirmation of health as a precondition for sustainable development and equity, as well as of the role for primary care as a cornerstone of universal health coverage. Health promotion, prevention and sustainable healthcare go hand in glove. Health promotion can enable more effective use of health resources by reducing demand for expensive health services and reducing hospital admissions. Promoting mental and physical health, and addressing health literacy and the social determinants of health, enables governments and departments of health to (i) empower citizens and communities to take control of their health, and (ii) better support innovative and financially sustainable healthcare. Without the bedrock underpinning of effective health promotion, treasuries and health systems will struggle to meet the rising costs and burden of ill health.
《联合国全民健康覆盖高级别会议政治宣言：共同努力，建设更健康的世界》（2019 年）提供了重要的重申，即健康是可持续发展和平等的前提，初级保健是全民健康覆盖的基石。健康促进、预防和可持续的医疗保健是紧密结合的。健康促进可以通过减少对昂贵医疗服务的需求和减少住院来实现更有效地利用卫生资源。促进身心健康，解决健康素养和健康的社会决定因素，使政府和卫生部门能够：(i) 使公民和社区能够掌控自己的健康；(ii) 更好地支持创新和财政可持续的医疗保健。如果没有有效的健康促进这一基石，财政部和卫生系统将难以应对不断增加的医疗成本和健康不良的负担。
