Book excerpt: At the Seventy-sixth World Health Assembly held 21-30 May 2023, Member States adopted the WHA Decision A76(22), Achieving well-being: a global framework for integrating well-being into public health utilizing a health promotion approach, which strives to enable all people to flourish and achieve their full physical and mental health potential throughout their lives and across generations. The Framework recommends six strategic directions that focus on: Effective implementation of these strategic directions should constitute part of a national governance system based on a ‘whole-of-government’ and ‘whole-of-society’ approach. The Framework is based on close collaboration between sectors outside of health and with communities to promote and protect health. It serves as a guide for stakeholders to engage in a coherent and coordinated manner around a common purpose: promoting the health of people and planet in a sustainable and equitable manner. There are complementarities with the work on social determinants of health and equity, on primary health care and OneHealth among others. And is aligned with several WHO health promotion activities, including promoting physical activity, the Tobacco Free initiative and less consumption of alcohol. The Assembly requests the Director-General to report on implementation of the Framework in 2024, 2026 and 2031.
