HIA is a systematic approach used to evaluate the potential health effects of a proposed policy, program, or project before it is implemented. It aims to inform decision-makers about the potential positive and negative health impacts and provides recommendations to maximize health benefits and minimize adverse effects. HIA plays a crucial role in ensuring that health considerations are integrated into decision-making processes across various sectors such as urban planning, transportation, housing, energy, and environmental regulations. It helps identify potential health risks and benefits, promotes health equity, and supports evidence-based decision-making.
