Introduction
The Community Health Department was established to carry out teaching and research in the field of community health in various geographical settings, whether rural or urban. Activities are carried out with the focus on identifying factors that influence disease occurrence and ill health among groups in the community. Apart from that, the activities are aimed at preventing health problems from spreading through community participation. In
implementing programs and activities, the Department adopts an approach
that perceives life of a community, which also includes the health
of its members and which is essentially influenced by every aspect
of life itself; in total includes the physical, social and cultural
environment. Present day community health is not only directed at
disease only, but that it has evolved rapidly to include wellness.
Therefore community health has to be seen as something holistic
and integrated. |
