The Global Imperative: “World Wellness”

Abstract

Public health refers to all organized measures to prevent disease, promote health, and prolong life. Wellness is an active process of becoming aware of and making choices toward a healthy and fulfilling life. Public health capacity to manage health problems and promote wellness relies on cumulative resources and relationships. There is a growing need for accurate global, regional, and country statistics on population and health. Public health capacity is also very dependent on investment. Each country either ignores or establishes a mission to manage the health and safety of its people. Changing the paradigm needs to involve non-governmental organizations (ngos).
