ZusammenfassungHealth in All Policies (HiAP) ist ein Konzept, das Gesundheit intersektoral betrachtet. Dabei werden zum einen die Auswirkungen von Entscheidungen der verschiedenen Politikbereiche auf die Gesundheit der Menschen untersucht und zum anderen Synergien gesucht, um gesundheitliche Chancengleichheit zu verbessern. HiAP bildet die Grundlage, um gesundheitliche Herausforderungen wie Klimawandel, menschenwürdige Pflege, Inklusion, soziale Chancengleichheit, städtische Lebensqualität oder flächendeckende Versorgung zu bewältigen. Eine Arbeitsgruppe des Zukunftsforums Public Health hat eine Bestandsaufnahme zu HiAP und dessen Umsetzung erstellt, deren Kurzform hier wiedergegeben wird. International gibt es Erfahrungen mit einigen Modellprojekten zu HiAP, in denen durch intersektorale Zusammenarbeit die Krankheitslast nichtübertragbarer Krankheiten verringert und die gesundheitliche Chancengleichheit erhöht werden konnte. In Deutschland haben einige Akteure HiAP als Ziel formuliert und es gibt in einigen Kommunen themenspezifische Modellprojekte, allerdings sind diese bislang weder fachlich noch politisch ausreichend gesichert und analysiert. Internationale Erfahrungen zeigen, dass ein explizites Bekenntnis der politischen Führung eine wesentliche Voraussetzung für HiAP-Prozesse bildet. Durch zivilgesellschaftliche Initiativen eröffnen sich immer wieder themenspezifische Möglichkeitsfenster, die für HiAP genutzt werden können, wenn Politik und Verwaltung tätig werden und über das einzelne Thema hinausgehend nachhaltige Strukturen einrichten. Zentrale Aufgabe solch nachhaltiger Strukturen ist es, die Vielfalt bestehender Ansätze in Erfahrungs- und Wissensplattformen zu bündeln und mit Koordination und gemeinsamer Zielorientierung zu stärken. Dazu bedarf es eines gestärkten Public-Health-Systems. HiAP ist in diesem Sinne Bestandteil und Motor auf dem Weg zu einer Public-Health-Strategie für Deutschland, die durch das Zukunftsforum Public Health ausgearbeitet wird, um durch ein gemeinsames Vorgehen die Gesundheit der Menschen in Deutschland zu verbessern. HiAP kann hier ein entsprechendes Claim darstellen und die Instrumente liefern um dieses Ziel in die Praxis umzusetzen.

Purpose Many public health systems have struggled with the dual questions of (1) why the uptake rate of maternal health services is low among some subpopulations; and (2) how to raise it. The objective of this study is to assess the uptake rate of a new set of maternal health services in poor rural areas of China. Design/methodology/approach The analysis is based on the survey responses of women’s representatives and village cadres from almost 1000 villages in June 2012 as part of a wide-scale public health survey in Sichuan, Gansu and Yunnan provinces in the western part of China. Findings We find that the uptake rate of maternal health services (including in-hospital delivery, antenatal care visits and post-partum care visits) in poor rural areas of western China are far below average in China, and that the rates vary across provinces and ethnic groups. Our analyses demonstrate that distance, income, ethnicity and availability appear to be systematically correlated with low uptake rates of all maternal health services. Demand-side factors seem to be by far the most important sources of the differences between subpopulations. We also find that there is potential for creating a Conditional Cash Transfer program to improve the usage of maternal health services. Originality/value We believe that our results will contribute positively to the exploration of answers to the dual questions that many public health systems have struggled with (1) why the uptake rate of maternal health services is low among some subpopulations; and (2) how to raise it.

The Turning Point Initiative is an initiative for which the Robert Wood Johnson (RWJ) and W.K. Kellogg foundations partnered in order to fund a group of states and a number of communities within each of those states to work through a planning process to look at ways to strengthen their public health systems at the state and local levels. Out of that process, the states and communities would come together at the national level to talk about what they had been learning and what the issues were. There were a number of issues that resonated with all of the states.

Objectives: This article analyzes the content and outcome of ongoing health reforms in Latin America: Universal Health Coverage with Health Insurance, and the Universal and Public Health Systems. It aims to compare and contrast the conceptual framework and practice of each and verify their concrete results regarding the guarantee of the right to health and access to required services. It identifies a direct relationship between the development model and the type of reform. The neoclassical-neoliberal model has succeeded in converting health into a field of privatized profits, but has failed to guarantee the right to health and access to services, which has discredited the governments. The reform of the progressive governments has succeeded in expanding access to services and ensuring the right to health, but faces difficulties and tensions related to the permanence of a powerful, private, industrial-insurance medical complex and persistence of the ideologies about medicalized 'good medicine'. Based on these findings, some strategies to strengthen unique and supportive public health systems are proposed.
