What is Health?
“a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-
being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”
(World Health Assembly, 1948)
“a resource for everyday life, not the objective of living. Health is a
positive concept emphasizing social
and personal
resources, as well as physical capacities.”
(World Health Organization, 1986)

What is Health Communication?
Health communication encompasses the study and use of communication strategies to
inform and influence individual and community decisions that enhance health. […]
Health communication can contribute to all aspects of disease prevention and health
promotion and is relevant in a number of contexts, including
health professional-patient relations,
(1)
individuals’ exposure to, search for, and use of health information,
(2)
individuals’ adherence to clinical recommendations and regimens,
(3)
the construction of public health messages and campaigns,
(4)
the dissemination of individual and population health risk information, that is, risk
(5)
communication,
images of health in the mass media and the culture at large,
(6)
the education of consumers about how to gain access to the public health and health
(7)
care systems, and
the development of telehealth applications.
