A New Step in Global Collaboration: Preventive Health SA and INHPF Join Forces to Advance Health Promotion Worldwide
The International Network of Health Promotion Foundations (INHPF) is delighted to welcome Preventive Health SA as a full member of our global network of health promotion foundations committed to advancing health equity and prevention worldwide.
As South Australia’s dedicated agency for public health and prevention, Preventive Health SA plays a pivotal role in driving strategic, evidence-informed approaches that address the root causes of ill health and reduce health inequities. Their work aligns strongly with INHPF’s mission to strengthen health promotion systems and foster lasting, population-level change.
Preventive Health SA is leading a coordinated approach across South Australia, focusing on priority areas that are central to global prevention efforts, including:
- obesity prevention
- tobacco control
- vaping
- alcohol and other drugs
- mental health and wellbeing
- suicide prevention
- the determinants of health
Under the leadership of Ms.Marina Bowshall, Chief Executive, Preventive Health SA is driving systems-level change by working across sectors—government, research, and community. Their commitment to collaborative public health leadership is creating measurable outcomes that improve the wellbeing of all South Australians.
As a full member of INHPF, Preventive Health SA joins a growing collective of national and regional agencies committed to promoting health and preventing chronic disease through policy innovation, partnerships, and knowledge exchange.
“At INHPF, we believe that stronger prevention systems build healthier, more resilient communities. The addition of Preventive Health SA brings us closer to that goal—together.”
We are proud to stand alongside Preventive Health SA as we strengthen our collective impact and continue building a global movement for health promotion.
