A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Concept of health

The concept of health is the foundation of Primary Health Care and determines how health services are planned, delivered and evaluated. It moves beyond the absence of disease to include physical, mental, social and spiritual well‑being, and is essential for students to understand when justifying health interventions, measuring health outcomes and interpreting epidemiological data.
