Goal for public health work in Norway
• Longer lives Norway aims to be among the top three countries in the world with longest life expectancy
• Healthier lives
The population shall experience more years with good health and wellbeing
• Equal health opportunities
We will create a society that promotes health in the whole population, and reduces social health differences
The Government demands: • That mental health will
become just as important as physical health in public health work
• That initiatives to promote lifestyle changes shall have a friendlier approach
• Develop a new and modern politics for elderly health that draws attention to the importance of active ageing
