How or how does it not? Can you identify 1-2 limitations?

Answer 1

Health means the state of complete physical, mental and social well being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Yes it really applies to my experience of health and health care in my home country. Physical,mental and social well being are interconnected. If our any of the state either physical ,mental or social, is not well we will become distured and it's a state of unhealthy.

This definition is really practicable in health sector in our country. In the health care scenario, we were giving priority to all the physical, mental and social wellbeing. The provision of health services meets the definition. They point outs the physical wellbeing as well as the mental wellbeing by giving psychological support to the patient and also giving social hand of help by including family and society to the treatment module and helping the patients with finance if they are not able to afford.
