Abstract
The premier global conference on Health Promotion was organized in Ottawa in 1986, with the intent to strategize the dispensing of primary health care among the poor mitigating inequities to achieve the ‘Health for All’ by 2000 AD. Poverty is a collective setback in India that’s unarguably attached to ill health with high mortality. Socio-demographic, environmental, economic, and political reasons often control the health of the community furthered by the after-effect of COVID pandemic, eerie climate, and clout of conflicts around the globe. Poverty breeds ill-health, and ill-health makes the poor - poorer. Health empowerment, a central spire of health promotion and disease prevention, refers to a process through which people gain greater control over the decisions taken on their health, wellness, and health-related quality of life. This article endeavors to ascertain the value of health empowerment in the background of dispensing of Primary Health Care to achieve sustainable development in future.
