"..This document reflects the progress brought about by strategic alliances
between ministers of health, education, labor, environment, and agriculture.

Its purpose is to promote and strengthen development of an intersectoral
framework that contributes to achievement of the Millennium Development
Goals (MDG), provide inspiration for the health in the Americas agenda, and
propose joint actions to improve the health of peoples within a broad
framework of development.

The document stresses the intersectoral approach, within the framework of
the social, economic, environmental, and cultural determinants that affect
the health of the population. It also seeks to lay the foundations for
public health in the Region of the Americas to increasingly engage in
integral work to combat poverty and reduce inequity.
