Regional Plan for Prevention

Regione Campania approved through Resolution no. 309 of 21 June 2011 the Regional Plan doe Prevention, to implement the understanding between State and Regions of 29 April 2010.

The strategic framework that involves the Regional Plan for Prevention of Campania takes into consideration that different health conditions and causes of death are related to living conditions corresponding to different wealth levels and health conditions. On these grounds, values and inspirational principles of regional strategies concerning healthcare planning and prevention have been established: equality, integration and participation.

As for the priorities of the Plan, the strategy based on health promotion, reduction or removal of risk factors, prevention of diseases and disabilities has three main pillars:

1. promotion and prevention plans for collective health problems;

2. promotion of individual healthy lifestyles and behaviours (especially through life and working environment);

3. risk information and communication activities.
