Exercise 9

Explain how health is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO). Does this definition fit your view of health? Based on your observations as a health provider, would you say that patients subscribe to the WHO definition of health? In your opinion, do patients have an inclusive view of health or do they perceive health more narrowly, i.e., as absence of disease.
