Description
INTRODUCTION
Prelude
The most fundamental aspect of human life is health which unfortunately
cannot be given or distributed. It is to be actively acquired or won. It forms an
integral component of the overall socio-economic development of any nation. It is a
matter of concern and cares for certain sensitive members of family and society,
irrespective of caste, creed, country, culture, etc. The concept of health keeps
changing from time to time and of course, varies from person to person. Some people
say the absence of disease is a healthy condition, some even accept obesity is a good state
of the body in comparison to normal or ideal weight. So far as a layman is concerned, there
is an agreed definition of health, though there have been many definitions put forth by
the World Health Organization which state "Health is a state of complete physical,
mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity".
