As such, health promotion through the development of individuals, institutions and the community at large improves the general knowledge of individuals and their overall skill through their living and working conditions. Therefore, health promotion is important, as it tends to improve the health standard and status of different individuals, communities, and even the entire nation. It also enhances the general quality of life for all the individuals and sustains their life expectancy through the reduction of premature deaths. On the other hand, health promotion normally reduces the cost incurred by different individuals, employers and other medical facilities on different forms of medical treatment.
