“Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity” — World Health Organization, 2023

Key attributes associated with well-being include the fundamental rights of every human being to enjoy the highest attainable standard of health and to participate in decision making processes that promote such standards. The importance of experiencing peace and having social governance and stability. Access to knowledge, health resources and clean environments that promote growth and sustainability are also key to well-being.
