සිංහලHealth Education and Health Promotion Targets
The Health Promotion Bureau has identified six minimum Health Education and Health Promotion targets that need to be achieved at the district level. These targets include the establishment and maintenance of the following five health promotion settings and the community platform:
At least one new functional happy village setting per PHI area is established and maintained per year. Both newly established and already established happy village settings are included. This target may change incrementally every two years, with notification to MOOH in writing.
At least five new functional preschool health promotion settings are established and maintained per Medical Officer of Health area per given year (in line with Divisional level Early Childhood Development Officer area per year). In most areas, one divisional ECDO area aligns with one MOH area.
Should follow the circular on School Health Promotion sent by Family Health Bureau (2015) and as per the commitment at the Inter-Ministerial Meeting to Revitalize Health Promoting Schools Implementation by the WHO South-East Asia Region (2021). Accordingly, all schools should be health promoting.
At least one new functional health promotion workplace per MOH area is established and continued per year. This may change incrementally every two years depending on the progress. In such instances the MOOH will be informed in writing.
At least one new functional health promotion hospital per district is established per year and continued.
At least one functional MSG per PHM area is established and maintained per given year. Groups that are newly established or already established are included in this indicator. This may change incrementally depending on the progress. In such instances the MOOH will be informed in writing.
Health Education and Health Promotion targets aim to reach the objectives of HPB collectively.
Targets are the benchmarks which are the desired change expected for achieving the objectives. Several targets will be responsible for achievement of an objective. The Key Performance Indicators are what we measure to assess progress towards the achievement of targets and thereby the objectives. Therefore, several KPI’s will progress towards achievement of a target.

Several advocacy, mediation and enabling sessions will be needed to establish and maintain the functionality of a health promotion settings.
