The popular saying “Health is wealth” neatly summarizes the significance of health in human life. Good health is an integral component of socio-economic well being. It is an essential require ment for the development and economic productivity of the indi vidual, the community, the nation and ultimately, the global family. Poor health, on the other hand, constrains individual and societal development. By compromising the potential to lead a productive life, poor health perpetuates poverty and undermines human dignity.
