Question

This question has multiple parts. Many institutional policies focus on illness prevention (e.g. flu shot requirements, limiting visiting during flu season, school vaccinations required), but there are few, if any, health promotion policies. Explain why. As an administrator, what health promotion policy, if any, would you put into place? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

Health policies are created for promotion of health and prevention of diseases. For illness prevention, the health promotion policies are regular health checkup, proper nutrition programme, safe hygiene practices, providing sanitary services, Maintaining cleanliness and teaching good health habits to the school children. Apart from the stated policies in the question these are some of the health policies can be done to prevent illness. As an administrator, I support for vaccination and teaching and promoting good healthy habits. Because this is the necessary measure for everyone to protect themselves from disease. By having self awareness of disease prevention is much beneficial.
