The WHO Regional Office for Europe's report shows an overall improvement in the implementation of Health 2020 values and principles in the countries of the WHO European Region. Between 2010 and 2016, the share of countries with policies addressing inequalities rose from 88% to 98%, while those that aligned national policies with Health 2020 increased from 58% to 92%. A growing number of counties also reported having implementation plans (86%) and accountability mechanisms (89%) in place. Results suggest that Health 2020 implementation has increasingly been incorporated into national policies to improve health and well-being. More than three-quarters of countries have used participatory and whole-of-government approaches in policy development, addressed major national health challenges, and taken up policies to invest in health, reduce health inequities and social determinants of health, and provide universal health coverage and patient-centred healthcare. The report shows that countries have embraced Health 2020's values and principles, including:

  • Adopting approaches to health policy-making that involve all parts of government and society;
  • Catalyzing intersectoral action for health and well-being; and
  • Supporting the development of resilient communities and promoting individual healthy lives across all ages.
