Our aim is to promote and protect the health of the population, in particular to improve health equity for all people:
Health is more than the absence of illness. Health encompasses physical, mental and social well-being.

Prevention is the avoidance or prevention of illness or the elimination of disease-causing factors.
The aims of health promotion are
- to createhealth-promoting living environments (so-called "settings")
- empowering people to stand up for their own health interests
- develop personal skills
The aims of prevention are
