Health Promotion Projects

Health promotion is defined as the process of enabling people to increase control over the determinants of health and thereby improve their health. To reach a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being an individual or group must be able to identify and realise aspirations, to satisfy needs and to change or cope with the environment.(1)
 

Health, is therefore, more than the absence of disease. It is a positive concept that emphasises physical, mental and social well being.
