A - The concept of health holds different meanings for different people and groups. These meanings of health have
also changed over time. This change is no more evident than in Western society today, when notions of health and
health promotion are being challenged and expanded in new ways. B-
For much of recent Western history, health has been viewed in the physical sense only. That is, good health
has been connected to the smooth mechanical operation of the body, while ill health has been attributed to a
breakdown in this machine. Health in this sense has been defined as the absence of disease or illness and is seen in
medical terms. According to this view, creating health for people means providing medical care to treat or prevent
disease and illness. During this period, there was an emphasis on providing clean water, improved sanitation and housing. C-
In the late 1940s the World Health Organisation challenged this physically and medically oriented view of
health. They stated that 'health is a complete state of physical, mental and social well-being and is not merely the
absence of disease' (WHO, 1946). Health and the person were seen more holistically (mind/body/spirit) and not just in physical terms. D-
The 1970s was a time of focusing on the prevention of disease and illness by emphasising the importance of
the lifestyle and behaviour of the individual. Specific behaviours which were seen to increase the risk of diseases,
such as smoking, lack of fitness and unhealthy eating habits, were targeted. Creating health meant providing not only
medical health care, but health promotion programs and policies which would help people maintain healthy
behaviours and lifestyles. While this individualistic healthy lifestyle approach to health worked for some (the wealthy
members of society), people experiencing poverty, unemployment, underemployment or little control over the
conditions of their daily lives benefited little from this approach. This was largely because both the healthy lifestyles
approach and the medical approach to health largely ignored the social and environmental conditions affecting the health of people. E-
During 1980s and 1990s there has been a growing swing away from seeing lifestyle risks as the root cause of
poor health. While lifestyle factors still remain important, health is being viewed also in terms of the social, economic
and environmental contexts in which people live. This broad approach to health is called the socio-ecological view
of health. The broad socio-ecological view of health was endorsed at the first International Conference of Health
Promotion held in 1986, Ottawa, Canada, where people from 38 countries agreed and declared that:

The fundamental conditions and resources for health are peace, shelter, education, food, a viable income, a stable
eco-system, sustainable resources, social justice and equity. Improvement in health requires a secure foundation in
these basic requirements. (WHO, 1986) . F-
At the Ottawa Conference in 1986, a charter was developed which outlined new directions for health
promotion based on the socio-ecological view of health. This charter, known as the Ottawa Charter for Health
Promotion, remains as the backbone of health action today. In exploring the scope of health promotion it states that:
“Good health is a major resource for social, economic and personal development and an important dimension of
quality of life. Political, economic, social, cultural, environmental, behavioural and biological factors can all favour
health or be harmful to it. (WHO, 1986). 21.
