M:Ofcoursenot.Healthhaslongbeenviewedinthephysicalsenseonly.Thatis,goodhealthhasbeenconnectedtothesmoothmechanicaloperationofbody,whileillhealthhasbeenattributedtoabreakdowninthismachine.Inthissense,healthhasbeendefinedastheabsenceofdiseaseorillnessandisseeninmedicalterms.Therefore,creatinghealthforpeoplemeansprovidingmedicalcaretotreatorpreventdiseaseandillness.

W:ThenwhatwastheemphasisoftheworkoftheWHOduringthatperiod?

M:Well,theemphasiswasofcourseonprovidingcleanwater,improvedsanitationandhousing.

W:Isee.Whendidtheconceptbegintochange?

M:Inthelate1940s,theWHOchallengedthisphysicallyandmedicallyorientedviewofhealth.Theystatedthathealthwasacompletestateofphysical,mentalandsocialwell-beingandnotmerelytheabsenceofdisease.Themind,bodyandspiritofapersonwereseenholistically.

W:Howlongdidthisconceptlast?

M:Itlasteduntilthe1970s.Atthattime,peoplefocusedtheirattentiononthepreventionofdiseaseandillnessbyemphasizingtheimportanceofthelifestyleandbehavioroftheinpidual.Specificbehaviorswhichwereseentoincreaseriskofdisease,suchassmoking,lackoffitnessandunhealthyeatinghabits,weretargeted.Creatinghealthmeantprovidingnotonlymedicalhealthcare,buthealthpromotionprogramsandpolicieswhichwouldhelppeoplemaintainhealthybehaviorandlifestyles.

W:Itsoundsreasonable.Itmusthavebeenbeneficialtopeople.
