Health Information
Health information is any concept, step, or advice that various
sources give to aid the health status of an individual.
The type of information varies depending on diseases, sexual health,
weight loss/gain, drugs and alcohol, depression/mental illness, violence,
smoking, eating disorders, acne/skin care, local clinics, and sexual assault
(Payne, et al., 2005). The information is critical as it may alter the health
conditions of a person. Another important characteristic of health information is
that it is continuously and rapidly changing. Thus, it should be timely,
relevant, culturally appropriate, accessible, and delivered in a relevant format
(Galvez Tan, et al., 2009). There is a great need to update oneself regarding
current research and evidence available in the field.

Health Services
Health services are often connected to healthcare.

These programs aim to appraise the health conditions of

individuals through screening and examinations, cure and treat
disorders, prevent and control the spread of diseases, provide safety,
emergency care, and first aid, and ensure a follow-up program for
individuals who have undergone treatments.

Health Products
Aside from health information, people also consume health products.

Health products are food, drugs, cosmetics, devices, biologicals,

vaccines, in-vitro diagnostic reagents, and household/urban hazardous
substances and/or a combination of and/or a derivative thereof (FDA
Act, 2009).
These products may be purchased from various places like supermarkets,
pharmacies, and hospitals.

Health Insurance
Health insurance is a financial agreement between an insurance
company and an individual or group for the payment of healthcare
costs (Payne, et al., 2005).
This also may pertain to a protection that provides benefits for sickness
and injury (Meeks, et al., 2011).
It offers various types of coverage: medical insurance, major medical
insurance, hospitalization insurance, surgical insurance, and disability
insurance (Meeks, et al.,2011). Medical insurance pays for the fees of the
health professionals, laboratory tests, and prescription drugs. Major medical
insurance offers payment for long-term or chronic diseases such as AIDS and
cancer. Hospitalization insurance pays for the stay of the patient inside the
hospital. Surgical insurance pays for surgery fees. Disabilityinsurance provides
financing for members who meet accidents or suffer from illnesses.
