Health is not everything, but without health
everything is meaningless. Basically everyone is craving for a healthy body
condition. Why is that? Because health is a basic human need. Health plays an
important role in the lives of every human being, because:
1. Health is one of the determining factors in the
quality of human resources.
2. Health as a condition for realizing physical,
spiritual (mental), and social development in harmony,
3. Health as a condition to carry out activities
optimally and in turn will affect achievement and productivity.
Realizing the meaning and important role of health,
the Government of the Republic of Indonesia through the Ministry of Health also
launched the Health for All 2000 program (Health for All by the year 2000). The
goal is for the Indonesian people, both in urban and rural areas to become
healthy and strong communities to carry out the development of the homeland and
our nation which is now being actively carried out. This was a recommendation
from a worldwide health conference at Alma Ata, Kazhaktan, 1978.
Health effort is every activity to maintain and
improve health carried out by the government and / or the community. This
means, that in order to realize this degree of health, personal, group or
community health must be sought. Efforts to realize health are carried out by
individuals, groups, communities, both institutionally by the government, or
non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Judging from the nature, efforts to
realize health can be seen from two aspects, namely health care and health improvement.
Health care also includes 2 aspects, namely:
preventive (disease prevention) and promotive (health improvement) itself.
Health needs to be improved because one's health is relative and has a wide
range. Therefore, promotive health efforts contain the meaning of a person's
health, group or personal must always be pursued to the optimal level of
health.
