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
