| Annotation | A new strategy which sets out the way that the UK Government will work with the World Health Organization (WHO), the European Union (EU) and a number of other partners to improve the health of the world's population was launched on 30 September 2008. The strategy contains ten principles and five areas for action. The principles set out aspirations for consideration across Government when setting or implementing domestic and foreign policy that may affect global health. It highlights new and neglected areas - the challenges of climate change, emerging diseases, the links between health and foreign policy and national security, and the increasing importance of non-communicable diseases in low and middle income countries - and identifies areas for action. These areas for action are: health security; strong and fair systems for health; more effective international health organisations; freer and fairer trade; and strengthening the way to develop and use evidence to improve policy and practice.
