Health is a basic human right that is important to long-term happiness and quality of life. HealthMaker Scott Ratzan, MD, talks about these tenets in this video.
Health has been thought of a basic human right but it's not just in pursuit of health, it's in pursuit of happiness and longevity and having some values and virtues. I think more now people realize that health not only because it constitutes almost 70% of the GDP in the United States but really around the world it touches everybody dealing.
Scott C. Ratzan, MD, is the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Health Communication: International Perspectives. He says fixing healthcare begins with improving health literacy among patients -- along public/private health partnerships.
