Q

How did meanings of health change over time?

A

Previously health was defined as ‘a state of complete physical, mental and social well being and not merely the absence of disease’ by the World Health Organisation (1946). This definition emphasises health as a positive experience and so those with a disability are not recognised. Over time, health has included a holistic approach looking at all individuals; disabilities, people living in areas of ill health, health problems
