PPN 102 Week 6 Global Health Exam QuestionsAnd Correct Answers
The 1984 World Health Organization expanded and updated its definition of Health as
"The extent to which an individual or a group is able to realise aspirations and satisfy
needs, and to change or cope with the environment. Health is a resource for everyday
life, not the objective of living; it is a positive concept emphasising social and personal
resources as well as physical capabilities"
Health promotion
is the process of enabling people to increase control over, and to improve, their health.
To reach a state of complete physical mental and social wellbeing, an individual or
group must be able to identify and to realize aspirations, to satisfy needs, and to change
or cope with the environment. Health is, therefore, seen as a resource for everyday life,
not the objective of living. Health is a positive concept connoting social and personal
resources in addition to physical capacities. Thus, health promotion is not merely the
responsibility of the health sector and extends beyond healthy lifestyles to wellbeing.
