Vision
The traditional health treatment is grounded on the acknowledgement of a failure of health care: Health services start working once an illness is already present and detected. This way, the health system is “reactive”, going always behind the illness. The illness leads the game. We cannot properly talk about “health system” because it does not work health but illness. In the traditional medicine, health is only taken care of when the person is ill. Health care and treatment is understood as the dominion of health professionals and centres, and the person rely health care to them.
Nowadays with the developments in prediction tools, telemedicine, and community-based health, we may foresee a new horizon in health care. We are more and more capable of conducting predictive diagnosis, monitoring health indices in the patient´s natural context, and enhancing formal (institutional and professional) and informal (personal and social) resources where the patient has them most available, in their own home and community. This way, we are ready to effectively focus on health, working on preventing disorders before they develop, strengthening and promoting health based on our own personal potentials and social resources, and allowing patients to live their own life where they are happy, free and independent.
We use the concept of health as the one by the World Health Organization: “Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” Working health is not just trying to fix a “gear” in our “machine” but to protect and strengthen the system of interrelated functions of our organism, but most important, to reach, protect, and promote the person in their environments. We promote our health when we are able to progress in the integration of our social and physical environments and ourselves. A sustainable health by promoting a sustainable environment. |
