  5. Institute of medicine Report 2002 2002- The Future of the Public’s Health in the 21st Century, the Institute of Medicine states that: • “The governmental public health infrastructure has suffered from political neglect and from the pressure of political agendas and public opinion that frequently override empirical evidence”.

  6. IOM: Changes Needed For A Healthy Nation • Multiple strategies by multiple sectorsneeded to achieve desired outcomes; • Adopt a population health approach that builds on evidence of the multiple determinants of health; • Strengthen the governmental public health infrastructure—the backbone of any public health system; • Create a new generation of partnerships to build consensus on health priorities and support community and individual health actions; • Develop appropriate systems of accountability at all levels to ensure that population health goals are met; • Assure that action is based on evidence; and • Acknowledge communication as the key to forging partnerships, assuring accountability, and utilizing evidence for decision making and action.

  7. Benefits and Forms of Partnerships • In authentic community-based partnerships, the participation and contributions of various stakeholders are likely to produce benefits in the form of increased effectiveness and productivity by reducing duplication of effort and avoiding the imposition of solutions that are not congruent with the local culture and needs. • Community partnerships are also likely to have the benefits of empowering the participants, strengthening social engagement, establishing trust, and ensuring accountability. • A variety of vehicles can be used for community collaborations, including coalitions, partnerships, community advisory boards, consumers’ rights and advocacy groups, and nonprofit organizations. These groupings can bring together participants from many sectors of a community, including businesses, ethnic groups, faith-based organizations, and various public agencies. IOM, 2002
