In reality, health services are arguably far more wide ranging than that. Health is composed of 5 main areas which interact with each other. Physical health refers to our physical fitness, lack of disease, strength and general vitality. Posture and nutrition are aspects to consider when thinking of physical health. Mental health relates to ones emotional state and their ability to resolve problems, make decisions and find contentment within the decisions made. Social health relates to actions and behaviours and looks at how you interact and maintain relationships with others. Spiritual health is about ideals, purposes and aspirations for life. It links to goal setting and having confidence to take risks, to use imagination and have ambition. Cultural health involves being a responsible citizen with respect for others. This also involves having active contribution to society and community affairs, volunteering or support worthwhile charities and events. Consider Health Care Systems A healthcare system is the organisation by which health care is provided and this varies between country to country as well as including either public and private health care or a hybrid of both. Some countries have systems that are all public and paid for by the government. These insure that everyone is seen who is ill. Other countries have privatised health care – you need to be covered by insurance or be extremely wealthy to pay for your health care. Publicly funded medicine is a healthcare system that is financed entirely or in majority part by government funds – usually paid for taxes and taxpayers. Publicly funded medicine is often referred to as socialised medicine, nationalised medicine, or universal healthcare. These sometimes can be reciprocal such as with Australia, Italy, and Denmark – these countries respect the healthcare system in the other country. In some countries alternative or complementary medicine may also be treated just as allopathic medicine. Treating a person practicing in naturopathy at the same level as a medical doctor – both be primary health care providers and covered by insurance plans as well as government funded rebates. Publicly funded medicine may be administered and provided by the government; however, in some systems, medicine is publicly funded but most health providers are private entities. The hospital is a private institution, yet the bill is still being paid for by state or federal monies. The organisation providing public health insurance is not necessarily a public administration, and its budget may be isolated from the main state or federal budget. In the same note some systems do not necessarily provide universal healthcare or restrict coverage to public health facilities. Purely private enterprise healthcare systems are comparatively rare. Where they exist, it is usually for a comparatively well-off sub population in a poorer country with a poorer standard of healthcare–for instance, private clinics for a small, wealthy expatriate population in an otherwise poor country, but there are countries with a majority-private healthcare system with residual public service. The United States falls into this category although most of the public healthcare there is privately funded by larger companies, institutions, as well as corporations.
