Health encompasses the overall state of physical, mental, and social well-being, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. It is shaped by a complex interplay of genetic, environmental, lifestyle, and societal factors, and is central to quality of life and human development.

Advances in health science continue to inform policies, treatments, and technologies that help individuals and communities lead longer, healthier lives.
