Abstract
In February 2014, the autonomous government in Catalonia, the Generalitat de Catalunya, approved the Catalan Public Health System Interdepartmental Plan (PINSAP, as per the Catalan acronym), responsible for the strategy in Catalonia for Health in All Policies, as recommended by the WHO and other international institutions. The PINSAP, as outlined under the Catalan Public Health Law, is binding for the government. The Plan was drawn up by the Interdepartmental Health Commission (CIS, as per the Catalan acronym) and is a collaboration between all Departments of the Generalitat. The Plan also receives contributions from 42 local, social and scientific bodies. Apart from the specific initiatives performed by each department which have a greater impact on health, the Plan proposes 30 initiatives, which are defined by their collaboration between public sectors, targeting determining health factors and paying special attention to combating inequalities and measuring the impact on health. The PINSAP encourages interdepartmental initiatives and collaboration between public sectors regarding determinants of health. Although it is only in its first year of implementation, many of their initiatives are already up and running and involving many healthcare professionals in Catalonia.
