Health promotion (HP) in the Netherlands is the responsibility of both the national (the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport) and local governments. Two government organizations are involved in the development, implementation and monitoring of HP: the Dutch Institute of Public Health (RIVM) and The Netherlands Organization for Health Research and Development (ZonMw). Within RIVM, the Center for Healthy Living (Loketgezondleven.nl) has been established. ZonMw subsidizes the Academic Collaborative Centers (ACC) in eight areas which together cover the whole of the Netherlands. ACC centers are responsible for transferring evidence based scientific knowledge into practical activities. Also, health promotion "thematic" institutes such as the TRIMBOS institute (Institute for mental health) and NISB (Dutch Insitute for Sport and Physical Activity), the GGDs (the municipal institutes for public health), general practitioners and work and health professionals (Arbo-coördinators) are actors in HP. There are two laws that regulate the role of HP namely: The Public Health Law ("Wet publieke gezondheid") (Wpg), and the Social Support Act (Wmo). Funding for HP comes from the central government, local municipalities, health insurance companies and regional care offices. Health insurance companies are mostly responsible for financing indicated and disease related HP. Evidence from Loketgezondleven.nl shows that only few HP are efficient and effective. Because of this both municipalities and insurance companies are reluctant to invest in HP. HP for elderly are mostly financed by public sources and, basic health insurance premiums but also through patient payments.(original abstract)
