A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Concept of health

The concept of health is the cornerstone of Primary Health Care, defining what it means to be healthy and guiding all PHC interventions. Mastering the WHO definition, the multidimensional nature of health (physical, mental, social), and the determinants of health will enable students to answer exam questions accurately and apply the concept in practice.
