The Health Policy of the Faroese Government can be subdivided into two main areas:
- Provide information on the health of the Faroese people, and
- Events focused on how to improve one’s health and how to prevent sickness and ill-health.

The Government is focused on encouraging people to eat more wholesome and nutritious food, to get more exercise, to smoke less and to reduce their abuseof alcohol and drugs.

In the new health policy being developed by the Government, other health issues will be addressed. The health policy serves as the foundation for future health-focused initiatives.
