The Theme of DYUTI 2023 Conference
Health is a resource for life which enables people to lead individually, socially and economically productive lives and it is a positive concept emphasising social and personal resources (physical, mental and spiritual). There are certain prerequisites for health which include peace, adequate economic resources (and their distribution), food and shelter, clean water, a stable ecosystem, sustainable resource use, and access to basic human rights. The recognition of these prerequisites highlights the links between social and economic conditions, structural changes, the physical environment, individual lifestyles and health.
