In Daniel Dawes' political determinants of health, successful policy advancement is more likely when:

Successful policy advancement is more likely when a policy issue aligns with the value interests of both the private sector and the government because this alignment fosters collaboration and support from key stakeholders. When both entities find common ground, it enhances the likelihood of achieving consensus and mobilizing resources effectively for policy initiatives.

This synergy can lead to more sustainable and effective health policies because stakeholders are motivated to support initiatives that resonate with their financial, ideological, or operational goals. For instance, if a health policy embraces concepts that benefit both public health goals and profit-making opportunities for the private sector, it creates a compelling case that can drive policy success forward.

The other options do not provide the same level of synergy and cooperation necessary for effective policy advancement. A cross-national agreement on healthcare might lack relevance if the local context and stakeholders are not engaged. Full privatization of healthcare could lead to further fragmentation and potential neglect of public health needs, while ignoring policy concerns by the government would likely result in a lack of necessary attention and support for health issues. Hence, the alignment of interests among key players is pivotal for successful policy outcomes in healthcare.
