La promoción de la salud tiene el poder de reducir la pobreza

As poverty is a major threat to health and health equity, poverty reduction has been a high priority for health promotion. The first International Conference on Health Promotion, held in Ottawa, Canada in 1986, ended with the drafting of the Ottawa Charter, a plan of action to achieve Health for All by the year 2000. While the term ‘poverty’ was not used in the first charter, the word often appeared in charters, declarations, statements, or calls to action generated after subsequent conferences.
