Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not simply the absence of diseases or illnesses. Preamble to the Constitution of the World Health Organization, approved by the International Conference on Health, New York, June 19-22, 1946, presided over by Thomas Parran. The World Health Organization's 1947 definition of health, which encompasses not only physical health but also complete social well-being, has been widely criticized. K) propose conventions, agreements and regulations, and make recommendations regarding international health issues and comply with.
P) study and report on, in cooperation with other specialized agencies when necessary, administrative and social techniques that affect public health and medical care from a preventive and curative point of view, including hospital services and social security; Governments have a responsibility with respect to the health of their peoples, which can only be fulfilled through the adoption of adequate health and social measures. C) helping governments, upon request, to strengthen health services; (d) provide appropriate technical assistance and, in emergency situations, the necessary assistance at the request or acceptance of governments; O) promote better standards of education and training in the health professions, medicine and other related professions;. The main objections are that such a definition converts all human life and its miseries, political or economic, into health problems, including that of world peace. J) promote cooperation between scientific and professional groups that contribute to health progress;.
The uneven development in different countries in the promotion of health and the control of diseases, especially communicable diseases, is a common danger. It is proposed that academics refine the WHO definition in the coming years and, at the same time, create bridges between a new conceptual definition and more detailed operational definitions. B) establish and maintain effective collaboration with the United Nations, specialized agencies, government health administrations, professional groups and any other organization considered appropriate; An expansion of the WHO definition may be necessary to include a spiritual dimension of health if social scientists agree that spirituality is part of health and not simply an influence. The child's healthy development is of fundamental importance; the ability to live in harmony in a changing global environment is essential to that development.
Since that definition in 1946, social scientists have duly followed their precepts and tried to put their concepts into practice, including social welfare. The objective of the World Health Organization (hereafter, the Organization) will be for all peoples to achieve the highest possible standard of health. L) promote maternal and child health and well-being and promote the capacity to live in harmony in a totally changing environment;.
