W STRONĘ ZDROWIA SPOŁECZNOŚCI - SOCJOLOGICZNY KONTEKST NOWEJ POLITYKI ZDROWOTNEJ

Abstract

A survey of the contemporary concepts of health, supported by epidemiological and sociomedical studies concerning the relations between lifestyle and public life organization versus the health condition of individuals and populations call for a review of goals and strategies of healthcare policy. In view of the indisputable relation between an individual’s health condition and his place of abode, study, work and leisure, a healthcare policy should suitably allow for the social context of health behaviours and a system of institutions in addition to an algorithm of distributing and allocating resources needed to meet healthcare requirements.
