Health and Population

"Health is wealth"
(Ghanaian proverb)

Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.

Health is a human right. It is one of the chief prerequisites for halving poverty worldwide as envisioned by the German Federal Government's action plan for 2015.

A health system that offers socially equitable and efficient basic health care strengthens a country's social and economic development.
