You may consider being a healthy person, if you are physically fit. People perceive that a person is healthy, just by his/her appearance. In some cases it might be wrong; a physically fit person could be suffering from any disease related to the internal organs. Furthermore, mental health could also be a potential issue.

But why we forget that the psychological aspect of every human being is also a part of a normal human being. So when the person is physically fit but has mental disorders, can we call him healthy? According to world health organization, health includes the physical, mental and social well being.

Health education has an important role in teaching, developing and maintaining awareness of people about the health issues, health care and hygiene. It is a profession which is aimed at the achievement of health awareness in the masses.

In developed countries health education is efficiently working to promote the methods by which health of people in a society could be ensured. But the developing countries are lacking in this sector.
