Part - C

15) Explain the concept of public health. (CO1) (Maximum : 10.00)

Answer (Mark obtained : 7.50) :-
The word "public health" is one of the most commonly used word by the policy makers, planners, health care providers and
academicians. It is one of the most important tools to keep the nation healthy as well as for its overall development. Hence it
has become essential that the entire stake holder understands the term and the scope of the discipline for addressing the
health and other development needs. As we do not have a comprehensive definition based on the contemporary knowledge
on health and its determinants and the well defined concepts and strategies of public health, the word public health is used
by the policy makers, bureaucrats, social activists, clinicians, public health practitioners, academicians, researchers and
many others engaged in decision/ policies making on health issues of any community to suit their ends. The first accepted
definition was that of C.E.A. Winslow in 1887. The definition was based on the concept of health and determinants of that
era. It was the era of "great sanitary awakening" followed by the spectacular achievements in the field of microbiology. Poor
sanitary conditions and the germs discovered were thought to be the prime determinants of health. The first definition was
based to address the same. It states that "public health is the science and the art of [1] preventing disease, [2] prolonging
life, and organized community efforts for (a) sanitation of the environment, (b) control of communicable infections, (c)
education of individuals in personal hygiene, (d) organization of medical and nursing services for early diagnosis and
preventive treatment of disease, and (e) the development of social machinery to ensure everyone a standard of living
adequate for the maintenance of health, so organizing these benefits as to enable every citizen to realize his birth right of
health and longevity.But after the World War II, with the advancement of scientific knowledge and an understanding of the
greater role of societal, political, economic and ecological factors along with the conventional biological and environmental
factors as the determinants of health, the focus of concern became broadened. With the formation of World Health
Organization a platform of the committee of Nation to assist the nation's to look after the health evolved various concepts on
health and health care delivery

14) Discuss the importance of Yoga in our daily lives. (CO9) (Maximum : 5.00)
Answer (Mark obtained : 4.00) :-
Yoga can be used as a practical tool in our daily life to improve our mental, emotional, physical and spiritual well being.
Many take up yoga to improve their physical fitness or as therapy to treat a physical ailment. In many instances, it soon
becomes a ‘need’; an important means to deal effectively with daily situations, rather than an alternative form of physical
activity. Through yoga, you become more attuned to your emotions. An increased sense of awareness enables you to have a
better mental control. You become calmer and more tolerant, and eventually end up reacting in a positive or at least not in a
destructive way when dealing with difficult or unpleasant situations. Your tolerance threshold is improved to the extent that
you are less likely to become angry, frustrated and upset. The ever increasing life stressors like excessive workload
demands, health, relationship and financial problems can negatively influence our well-being. All this can lead to anxiety
disorder, mood swings, insomnia and even depression. It is scientifically proven that yoga is an effective therapy to help
individuals facing health challenges at any level to manage their condition, reduce symptoms, increase vitality and improve
attitude.
