The Health Portal plays a pivotal role in transforming health organizations, both in India and globally. Health promotion, as defined in the World Health Organization's India Charter for Health Promotion in a Globalized World, involves "enabling people to increase control over their health and its determinants, thereby improving their health." The principal avenue for health promotion lies in the development of healthy public policies that address essential health prerequisites, including income, housing, food security, employment, and the quality of working conditions. Recent efforts have adopted the concept of "Health in All Policies," emphasizing actions that integrate health considerations into all public policies.
