INTRODUCTION Our Health, Our Future, Our Choice (9th Global Conference on Health Promotion, Shanghai, 2016) Health promotion, maintenance and preservation are the fundamental prerequisites to community development. A healthy society can be created and maintained by the healthy members of the community. Today, when the world is facing multiple health challenges, ranging from outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases, increasing reports of drug-resistant pathogens, growing rates of obesity and physical inactivity to the health impacts of environmental pollution & climate change, and multiple humanitarian crises, role of health promoting behaviors become all the more important.

Health promotion may be understood as actions and advocacy to address the full range of potentially modifiable determinants of health, including actions that allow people to adopt and maintain healthy lives and those that create living conditions and environments that support health (WHO, 1998). It is a science aiming to reach optimal health. Health promotion includes all the activities that aim at increasing well-being; prevention and control of disease and health hazards. Health promotion is to add 'life into years' and not just add 'years onto life'. It aims at reorienting health services and changing the focus of curative services to maintenance and promotion of health. It views health more than just absence of disease.
