Health
care
Health care is the prevention, treatment, and
management of illness and the preservation of mental and physical
happiness through the services offered by the medical, nursing,
and allied health professions. According to the World Health Organization,
health care embraces all the goods and services designed to promote
health, including “preventive, curative and palliative interventions,
whether directed to individuals or to populations”. The organized
provision of such services may constitute a health care system.
This can include a specific governmental organization such as, in
the UK, the National Health Service or cooperation across the National
Health Service and Social Services as in Shared Care. Before the
term "health care" became popular, English-speakers referred
to medicine or to the health sector and spoke of the treatment and
prevention of illness and disease.
