The purpose of health care is to meet the health care needs of individuals and promote the health of the community.
“Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”
“The enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health is one of the fundamental rights of every human being without distinction of race, religion, political belief, economic or social condition.”
