Health: It may seem ridiculous to define "health" when we all know what it is. Or do we? The definition of health by the World Health Organization (WHO), also known as l'Organisation Mondiale de la Santé (OMS), is as follows:

"Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."

Health for All

In 1977, the World Health Assembly decided that the major social goal of governments and WHO should be the attainment by all people of the world by the year 2000 of a level of health that would permit them to lead a socially and economically productive life.

In 1981, the Assembly unanimously adopted a Global Strategy for Health for All by the Year 2000. This was the birth of the "Health for All" movement.

"Health for All" does not mean an end to disease and disability, or that doctors and nurses will care for everyone. It means that resources for health are evenly distributed and that essential health care is accessible to everyone. It means that health begins at home, in schools, and at the workplace, and that people use better approaches for preventing illness and alleviating unavoidable disease and disability.

It means that people recognize that ill-health is not inevitable and that they can shape their own lives and the lives of their families, free from the avoidable burden of disease.

In 1994, WHO's Member States, in recalling the goal, acknowledged that significant global changes had occurred since that time, and called for a renewal of the strategy to meet challenges, exploit opportunities, and overcome obstacles at the dawn of the 21st century.
