Health is referred to as not just the lack of illness or infirmity, but also total physical, emotional, and societal well-being
There are various changing concept of health which are:
Biomedical Concept
Ecological Concept
Psychosocial Concept
Holistic Concept
Health concepts are crucial to understand because they affect a person's ability to take care of themselves and control their health, which may help relieve the pressure on healthcare services.

The female reproductive system contains two main parts: the uterus, which hosts the developing fetus, produces vaginal and uterine secretions, and passes the anatomically male sperm through to the fallopian tubes; and the ovaries, which produce the anatomically female egg cells.
The female reproductive system is made up of the internal and external sex organs that function in reproduction of new offspring. In humans, the female reproductive system is immature at birth and develops to maturity at puberty to be able to produce gametes, and to carry a fetes to full term.

INTRODUCTION
Understanding of health is basic of all health are.
Health cannot be perceived the same way by all the members of community including various professional groups (e.g. – biomedical scientist, social science specialist, health administrator, ecologist, etc) giving rise to confusion about the concept of health.
Health has evolved over the centuries as a concept for an individual concern to a worldwide social goal and encompasses the whole quality of life.
A brief account of the changing concepts of health is as follows,
1.BIOMEDICAL CONCEPT
Traditionally health has been viewed as an absence of disease and if one was free from disease then the person was considered healthy. This concept known as “biomedical concept” has the basis in the germ theory of disease, which eliminated medical thought at the turn of the 20th century.
The medical profession viewed the human body as a machine, disease as a consequence of breakdown of the machine and one of the doctor’s tasks as repair the machine. Thus, health in this narrow view became the ultimate goal of medicine.
The criticism that is levelled against the biomedical concept is that it has minimised the role of the environmental, social, psychological and cultural determinants of health.
The biomedical model, for all its spectacular success in treating disease was found inadequate to solve some of the major health problems of mankind (e.g. – malnutrition, chronic disease, mental illness, environmental pollution, population explosion) by elaborating the medical technologies.
Development in medical and social sciences led to conclusion that the biomedical concept of health was inadequate.
2.ECOLOGICAL CONCEPT
Deficiencies in the biomedical concept gave rise to other concepts.
The ecologist put forward an attractive hypothesis which viewed health as a dynamic equilibrium between maladjustment of the human organism to environment.
Dubos defined health saying, “Health implies the relative absence of pain and discomfort and a continuous adaptation and adjustment to the environment to ensure optimal function”.
Human ecological and cultural adaptations to determine not only the occurrence of disease but also the availability of food and population explosion.
The ecological concept raises two issues, viz. imperfect man and imperfect enviroment.
History argues strongly that improvement in human adaptation to natural environment can lead to longer life expectancy and a better quality of life even in absence of modern health delivery system
3.PSYCHOSOCIAL CONCEPT
Contemporary development in social sciences revealed that health is not only a biomedical phenomenon but one which is influenced by social, psychological, economic and political factors of the people concern.
The factors must be taken into consideration in defining and measuring health and both a biological and social phenomenon.
4.HOLISTIC CONCEPT
The holistic concept model is a synthesis of all the above concept.
Concept of Health and Diseases- B.Pharm Semester 7vedanshu malviya
health is a state of bodily equilibrium while disease is a state of homeostatic failure. But the process of human growth as Boorse observed is itself leading to homeostatic disequilibrium . Value: disease is undesirable while health is desirable. Health is thus a social value in human society.
Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites
VISION
Being proactive
Supporting optimal animal and human health
Exploring ways to reduce overall use of antimicrobials
Using the drugs that prevent and treat disease by killing microscopic organisms in a responsible way
GOAL
to prevent the generation and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Doing so will preserve the effectiveness of these drugs in animals and humans for years to come.
being to preserve human and animal health and the effectiveness of antimicrobial medications.
to implement a multidisciplinary approach in assembling a stewardship team to include an infectious disease physician, a clinical pharmacist with infectious diseases training, infection preventionist, and a close collaboration with the staff in the clinical microbiology laboratory
to prevent antimicrobial overuse, misuse and abuse.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

2. What is
Health
According to the World Health
Organization, is "a state of complete
physical, mental and social well-being
and not merely the absence of disease
and infirmity".
Health was earlier said to be the
ability of the body functioning well
3. Importance
A healthy lifestyle allows you to live a full life
with meaning and purpose. "Health is a positive
concept that emphasizes both social and personal
resources as well as physical abilities.“
An understanding of health is the basis of all
health care
4. Health has evolved over the centuries from the
concept of individual concern to a worldwide
social goal.
The various changing concepts of health as
follows:
1.Biomedical Concept
2.Ecological Concept
3.Psychosocial Concept
4.Holistic Concept
5. Biomedical Concept
A traditional definition of health was the absence of disease. If a
person is disease-free, that person is deemed healthy.
Health has been viewed as an “absence of. disease”
It identifies a discrete unit of knowledge in any of the
biomedical information sciences.
6. Ecological Concept
The general knowledge (or facts) of ecosystems and ecosystem
management are known as ecological notions.
Ecological principles are basic assumptions (or beliefs) about
ecosystems and how they function that are informed by the ecological
concepts.
The ecologists put forward the concept of ecological concept
Ecologists viewed health as a dynamic equilibrium between man and
his environment, and the disease as a maladjustment of the human
organism to environment
7. Psychosocial theories focus on the nature of self-
understanding, social relationships, and the mental
processes that support connections between the person
and his/her social world.
Advances in social sciences showed that health is not only
a biomedical phenomenon, but one which is influenced by
social psychological cultural, economic, and political
factors of the people concerned.
These factor must be taken into consideration in defining
and measuring health
Thus health is both a biological and social phenomenon
Psychosocial
Concept
8. A holistic approach means to provide support that looks at the whole person,
not just their mental health needs.
The support should also consider their physical, emotional, social and
spiritual wellbeing.
Holistic Concept recognizes the strength of social, economic, political and
environmental influences on health.
It has been variously described as multidimensional process involving the
wellbeing of the person as a whole
The emphasis is on the promotion and protection of health
Holistic Concept
