Health Promotion is a process of enabling people to increase control over their health and its determinants, and thereby improve their health. Health promotion is premised on the fact that health requires a multi-sectoral approach. The implementation process considers the fact that while the individual can exert personal control over immediate determinants of health, the more complex underlying ones require societal or community decisions and actions. The methods used aim at informing, educating and empowering individuals/ families and communities so that they can make informed decisions to promote and protect their health.

This course unit provides public health specialists with the necessary knowledge and skills for the development, advocacy, delivery, and evaluation of health promotion programs to targeted populations for safe motherhood in relation to behaviour change.

Topics discussed shall include Health Promotion concept, principles and approaches, communication skills, the place of communication in safe motherhood (case studies of good and bad communication – MMC model), Effective communication, Modes/Forms of communication at different levels for different populations.
