To improve people's health is one of the fundamental objectives of nursing. Current scientific evidence shows that there are different factors that influence in maintaining people's health and that a very important part of the state of health is due to lifestyle, behaviour and healthy habits. Evidence also reminds us that there are other factors beyond the individual as genetic, environment or socioeconomic conditions.
These are key elements to take into account when conducting health promotion and an effective disease prevention. Much of the health maintenance depends on the health professionals promotion. Public health strategies should aim to preserve and improve health, anticipating problems of the individual and the community. Actions aimed at improving health must always respect people's dignity. The latest health report of 2008 (WHO) identifies the renewal of primary health care (PHC) as the most necessary health policy for the coming years. The economic and political crisis poses to the state and institutional mechanisms the challenge of ensuring access to health services to all citizens, its supply and funding, including promotional activities.
