PUBLIC HEALTH
We are social,
We act and react
It is our wealth
Interdependent,
Apart from genetics,
Socio-economic conditions in which we live
Determines health
Stressful conditions: child to adult
Poverty, unemployment, low income, malnutrition, low education
Determines health
Availability affordability of health services
Determines health
Risks factors: drinking, smoking
Worsens health
A socio-economic and health safety net,
Improves health
A fight in a less than supportive relationship
Deteriorates health
A class exclusion,
Silently worsens health
Nevertheless,
A healthy engagement
Improves health
Apart from Government's responsibility, a person also must look after his health – The New Public Health
