..Abstract
A healthy body is the very foundation for all human activities. That is why the adage “Sarira Madhyam Khalu Dharma Sadhanam”. In welfare state, therefore it is the obligation of the state to ensure the creation and sustaining of condition congenial to good health.[1]
Health is the level of functional or metabolic efficiency of a living organism. In humans, it is the general condition of a person's mind and body, usually meaning to be free from illness, injury or pain (as in "good health" or "healthy").[2] As defined by World Health Organization[3] (WHO), it is a "State of complete physical, mental, and social well being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." Health is a dynamic condition resulting from a body's constant adjustment and adaptation in response to stresses and changes in the environment for maintaining an inner equilibrium called homeostasis.[4]
