What is Health?
What is Health?
“A state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”
Definition from The World Health Organization
A 2016 National Survey of Disability in Guatemala showed that individuals with disabilities reported a lower quality of life compared to people without disabilities.
Many studies have also shown that people with disabilities are at an increased risk for physical health problems.
Disability can impact many areas of life including access to quality health care, employment, education, social and economic status.
It is important to remember that physical and mental health play a large role in the outcome of overall health.
Be an advocate for yourself! Let the professionals and physicians in your life know that you are just as important as every one else!
Speak up when you feel something is wrong, both with your body and your mind.
