The development

More than a decade ago, the WHO initiated the Network of Health Promoting Hospitals as a pilot project in order to support hospitals in placing more emphasis on health promotion and disease prevention rather than on diagnosis and curative services alone.

Later, the International HPH Network became a non-governmental organization (NGO) on its own, with its constitution under Swiss law in 2008. Meanwhile, the network changed its name to include health services. This was done to extend the scope of the network by including non-hospital services in order to strengthen the vital links between primary health care and other health services. In this way, the network aims to secure the cooperation between and among hospitals, other health service providers, and other institutions and sectors.

Since the early years, when HPH was merely a European WHO initiative, a global expansion has taken place. Now, the International HPH Network consists of more than 700 member hospitals and health services from all the continents of the world. The memberships are anchored in the management of district hospitals, primary care clinics (including general practitioners, nurses, and midwifes), university hospitals, health centers, and nursing homes among other parts of the health care system taking care of patients.

The signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between WHO and the international HPH Network was a significant achievement, a very important step, and a great success. The document is an umbrella framework for collaboration, and it forms basis for the annual MoU Work Plan, which outlines the specific and detailed actions that will be taken. These actions have been included into HPH Action Plans.

The WHO collaborations are a key priority for HPH, and among the core elements are WHO’s Health 2020 document and the agreed focus on Eastern Europe, synergies with other WHO Networks, and the outside Europe work with PAHO, WPRO, EMRO, National Offices, and Liaison Officers, which would be strengthened in future. The connection and collaboration between WHO and HPH will continue to be developed for the benefit of patients, staff, and communities all over the world for years to come.
