FOREWORD BY THE AUTHOR

HEALTH PROMOTION (textbook for public health faculties) is addressed to students of bachelor's and master's programs studied in these faculties.

The study discipline is mandatory for the majors: "Nursing", "Health Care Management" and "Public Health and Health Management".

The edition with success can also be used in the post-graduate education system for the "Health Promotion" module in the "Public Health" and "Social Medicine" specializations.

Writing this textbook, I was faced with the challenge to systematize what is known in this scientific field of human knowledge, and at the same time to create something different, avant-garde and meaningful, which corresponds to the specifics of training for this type of specialists.

I deeply believe that the present textbook will be met with understanding and desire by the audience!
