Description
Comprehensive health education supported within the broader context of public health is a cost-effective approach which can greatly enhance individuals' quality of life, and significantly decrease morbidity and mortality. With increased world-wide travelling, comprehensive health education must be addressed as a universal issue, not local or national, as diseases do not recognize any geographic boundaries.
