Closing Speech: Future Challenges

 

• A rapidly evolving agenda
• A rapid dissemination of HIA worldwide
• There is a complementary/synergy between HIA and HiAP
• From knowledge, to know how, to being

• Push/pull approach: developing more pull approaches, importance of working with communities and risk of reduced participation, what can we bring to other sectors rather than what they can bring to us

• Smart beaver: several approaches, several methods, importance of contextualising and maintaining diversity, a strategic approach combined with a methodological approach, having a law is not enough

• Sharing knowledge: accessible, quality, timely information, transparent process, build trust
• Capacity building: intersectoral network development (professionals and decisionmakers)
• Learning through practice, online training, mentoring

• What is the role of HIA compared to other types of IA
• How can we commit with other sectors outside of health including decisionmakers and the economic sectors

• Strengths and weaknesses of different approaches
• How can we improve the conceptualisation of equity and vulnerability within HIA

• This is a startegic approach to consider health in all policies
• Importance of establishing a worldwide collaborative network supported by WHO
