To address these challenges, suggested measures include promoting teamwork and collaboration among healthcare professionals, training and continuous education, government involvement and enforcement of health promotion integration at the hospital, hospital management involvement, media sensitization and advocacy, provision of financial, material and human resources, motivation and encouragement of the process of health promotion integration, and patient involvement.
