Health

Business support of community health programmes has been a core philosophy for many years. Previously driven by legislation but increasingly seen as a means to further a company's corporate social responsibility goals. Health has and will remain a key area of business support both internally and externally in the wider community.

How do Health Public Private Partnerships benefit business and society?

• Occupational Health and Safety (OSH) - Business support of programmes in the wider community can educate business and society on work related health issues. Initiatives targeting small business can have a particular benefit in wider society, as SME's tend to be less aware of health legislation and healthy working practices.
  
  
  
• Health Promotion - Sponsoring health education in the wider community has become increasingly popular. With education seen as a key driver in reducing preventable disease, both public and private partners are increasing their investment.
  
• Road Safety - Deaths and injuries on the roads continue to take a heavy toll in every society. Newly industrialised countries suffer from the nexus of rapid increase in vehicle usage and poor infrastructure/education /enforcement. Businesses supporting road safety initiatives can help reduce incidents both within their company and society at large.
