Design of a Health Promotion Program
ANSWER
Health promotion is not a novel idea. Long ago, it was recognized that health is determined by factors other than those within the health sector. When the germ theory of disease was not yet established in the nineteenth century, the specific cause of most diseases was thought to be’miasma,’ but there was an acceptance that poverty, destitution, poor living conditions, lack of education, and other factors contributed to disease and death. William Alison’s reports (1827-28) on epidemic typhus and relapsing fever, Louis Rene Villerme’s report (1840) on Survey of the physical and moral conditions of the workers employed in the cotton, wool, and silk factories, John Snow’s classic studies of cholera (1854), and other documents bear witness to this growing understanding of disease causation.

The term ‘Health Promotion‘ was coined in 1945 by Henry E. Sigerist, a great medical historian, who defined the four major tasks of medicine as health promotion, illness prevention, sick restoration, and rehabilitation. His assertion that health was important
promoted by providing a decent standard of living, good labor conditions, education, physical culture, means of rest and recreation, and necessitated the collaborative efforts of statesmen, labor, industry, educators, and physicians. It was reflected in the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion 40 years later. Sigerist’s observation that “the promotion of health obviously tends to prevent illness, but effective prevention calls for special protective measures” emphasized the importance of considering both general and specific causes in disease causation, as well as the role of health promotion in addressing these general causes. Around the same time, J.A.Ryle, the first Professor of Social Medicine in the United Kingdom, recognized the twin causality of diseases, drawing attention to its applicability to noncommunicable diseases.
