ATI Fundamentals Of Nursing

The World Health Organization (W.H.O.) defines health as "A state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." This definition emphasizes that health is not just the absence of illness, but also includes the overall well-being of an individual, encompassing their physical, mental, and social aspects. W.H.O. is a global organization that is responsible for providing leadership on global health matters, setting health norms and standards, and coordinating international health responses. Therefore, it is the W.H.O. that defines health in this comprehensive manner.
