Editorial
This week, Health Practices offers you an overview of the current issues in health promotion, between field innovations and persistent challenges. Throughout the contributions, concrete practices emerge to reduce inequalities, strengthen prevention, and better articulate health, social, and medico-social aspects.
Health Practices particularly highlights the work of local teams, who invent new ways every day to reach the audiences most distant from care services. These initiatives remind us that health is not just about access to care, but is also built through education, the power to act, and the quality of living environments.
In parallel, this week's news questions our governance models and the role given to field actors in the decisions that concern them. They highlight the urgency of further supporting prevention, both in resources and recognition, to make it a true pillar of public policies.
