Strategic and technical advisory group of experts on well-being and health promotion: meeting report, 16 April 2025

Resumen

This report summarizes the first meeting of the WHO Strategic and Technical Advisory Group of Experts on Well-being and Health Promotion, held on 16 April 2025. Established to support implementation of the WHO global framework for achieving well-being, the group examined how health promotion and well-being approaches can strengthen public health policies and contribute to equitable, resilient and sustainable societies. Discussions focused on two priorities: integrating health promotion into health emergency preparedness, response and recovery, and ensuring that digital systems support societal well-being while minimizing health, social and environmental risks. The group recommended systematically incorporating health promotion into emergency management policies and decision-making, strengthening community participation and resilience, and applying lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic. Regarding digital technologies, it called for context-sensitive WHO guidance addressing governance, equity, ethical considerations, artificial intelligence and infodemic management. The report emphasizes the importance of coordinated, multisectoral policies that prioritize human and planetary health, equity and sustainability, alongside stronger health promotion capacities and community engagement.
