Health promotion saves lives and sets the standard for quality living, which is to the benefit of organizations and individuals in society. Most deaths and poor living conditions around the world are linked to health challenges. Individuals and organizations can only meet and improve performance and productivity targets if health is in good shape. This paper examines the need for health promotion around the world with particular reference to developing countries where the health systems are not robust enough to address emerging deadly tropical diseases. The paper adopts a thematic method, focusing on World Health Organization strategies, and ecological approach to health promotion. Evidence is shown of fall in gross domestic product (GDP) as a result of productive people’s dwindling health and physical incapacitation, owing to health challenges. Conclusion of the paper embraces the projection of personal responsibility for individual and community health. The article also validates the theoretical assumption that health is wealth, and both human performance and productivity are hinged on adherence to health promotion protocols. In recommendation, the paper highlights, among others the proposal for a stronger collaborative synergy between health advocacy groups and governments to promote health education in rural and urban areas.
