Basic Principles

Consider Health in All Policies (HiAP) at national and local levels
Promote multi-ministerial and multidisciplinary participation to identify social determinants of health and promote health and sustainable development

Aim to introduce a system that prioritizes health in all policies
Improve population health while promoting health equity
Identify particularly vulnerable groups and classes for each topic area, and set policy goals and priorities so that benefits can be returned to them

When determining the details of a project and performance indicators, generally, gender segregation indicators are established, considering the reduction of the gap according to social determinants of health, such as income and region
Consider the entire life-course as well as in places of living
Design policies so that appropriate health policies can be applied in lifecycle stages encompassing infants, children, adolescents, adults, and older adults, as well as in places of living such as schools, military, and workplaces
Develop an environment that fosters health
Create a social, physical, and economic environment in which everyone can reach their full potential for their own health and well-being
Guarantee opportunities for anyone to participate and build, and to enjoy together
Collect opinions on health policy from experts and public officials as well as the general public and give the latter a leading role
Interact and cooperate with all related sectors
Secure connections between international trends such as SDGs and health policies by sector/region in Korea, functioning as a guideline when establishing new plans by sector/region in the future
