Goals

Le Passeport Santé aims to develop and actively promote sustainable health for all.

Supporting health and wellness professionals and companies in their health and wellness projects, the Health Pass is an effective tool in particular in the following fields:

• Health promotion to respond to the basic needs and foster the well-being of individuals and groups
• Universal prevention through information and training programmes and by developing and supporting projects adjusted to the needs of the target audiences.

The Health Pass provides access to a network made up of healthcare and wellness professionals who initially offer services in the fields of physical well-being, nutrition and stress management so as to rapidly foster best practices for a healthy lifestyle.

Ethics & Work Principles

Health is “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity”1. As such, it is a goal and, in the framework of the Health Pass, a convergence of the notions of well-being, autonomy, sharing, challenge and balance.

Sustainable health is an approach combining activities which impact on an individual’s lifestyle and behaviour. It promotes health through a three-fold objective:

• Consistency between each individual’s needs and resources – personal development
• Consistency between individual needs and society’s needs and resources – social development
• Consistency between the needs of humankind and the long-term needs and resources of the environment – sustainable development.

Health promotion is “the process of enabling people to increase control over, and to improve, their health” 2. Our approach is based on a concept which defines “health” as the extent to which an individual or group is able to identify and to realize aspirations, to satisfy needs, and to change or cope with the environment.

Active health promotion means providing information and support to individuals, populations and the actors of sustainable health. The development of sustainable health is seen as the sum of all actions fostering the combination, restructuring and qualitative improvement of sustainable health methods, know-how, networks and projects.

In order to develop and actively promote sustainable health for all, the Health Pass fosters cooperation with companies and professionals, institutions, associations, research and training bodies engaged in the field of healthcare and wellness.
