Health-promoting schools initiative in Oman: a WHO case study in intersectoral action

Abstract

The WHO Centre for Health Development located in Kobe, Japan [‎WKC]‎ launched a project in 2012 to collect case studies that have involved intersectoral action and that aim to improve health and its underlying determinants. The Health-Promoting Schools Initiative [‎HPSI]‎ in Oman was selected by the WHO Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean as a good example of intersectoral action that can be replicated in other countries of the Region
