Abstract: Abstract ICC is a resilience-oriented approach that seeks to strengthen communities by tackling the determinants of health. It assumes accountability towards a territorially defined population, creating new cross-sectoral and interdisciplinary partnerships and taking a population health approach with a focus on prevention. In ICC, a new power dynamic and relationship is forged: people and communities co-design and co-produce health and care; the role of government is that of an equalizer (ensuring resources are allocated to those most in need) and investor in public services; and the traditional boundaries between informal and formal care are blurred.
