Health

The absence of disease or injury along with physical, mental, and social well-being. Viewed holistically, health is an interacting system with mental, emotional and physical components. We define health as "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity" (WHO 1994). We also consider health as a basic and dynamic force in our daily lives, influenced by our circumstances, beliefs, culture and social, economic and physical environment.
