Health Education

 

Education for health begins with people. It hopes to motivate them with whatever interests they may have in improving their living conditions. Its aim is to develop in them a sense of responsibility for health conditions for themselves as individuals, as members of families, and as communities. In communicable disease control, health education commonly includes an appraisal of what is known by a population about a disease, an assessment of habits and attitudes of the people as they relate to spread and frequency of the disease, and the presentation of specific means to remedy observed deficiencies.

Our Health Education and Life Skills curriculum is unique in many aspects: It moves away from the information based, teacher-centered education to process centered and learner-friendly education with a focus on how to think rather than on rote memory It is based on very low operational cost; basically just a teacher's manual (common across all levels) and a teacher's reference activity book; it requires no books for the students or costly equipment or elaborate visual aids.

Many of these deaths can be avoided if parents and caregivers understand what to do when illness strikes and how to recognize the danger signs that signal the need for medical help. Facts for Life presents, in simple language, the most authoritative information about practical, effective and low-cost ways to protect children's lives and health. Everyone has the right to know this information.

Health Education plays a crucial role in the development of a healthy, inclusive, and equitable social, psychological, and physical environment. It has undergone radical change in recent years, and modern approaches now use an empowering, multi-dimensional, multi-professional approach which relates to all settings, organizations, and parts and levels of society, including schools, colleges, the community, and the workplace

Health needs assessment is a new phrase to describe the development and refinement of well established approaches to understanding the needs of a local population. In the 19th century the first medical officers for health were responsible for assessing the needs of their local populations. More recently, in the 1970s the Resource Allocation Working Party assessed relative health needs on the basis of standardised mortality ratios and socioeconomic deprivation in different populations, and it used this formula to recommend fairer redistribution of health service resources..

These aspects include:the nature of personal relationships and their effects on health and well-being the nature and effects of personal growth and development the influence of behaviour and lifestyles on health and well-being local and global environmental factors which can influence the health and well-being of individuals and communities basic first aid procedures
