520			_aThroughout the world, the organization of health service delivery is undergoing a period of rapid change. The health service professions, under a variety of influences, are renegotiating their approaches to health, emphasizing health promotion and the prevention of illness. This reorientation necessitates a stronger focus on the effects of social, economic and environmental factors on health, and on building intersectoral links to achieve these new goals.
