Family Health

Family health refers to the overall well-being of all members within a family unit, emphasizing physical, mental, and social aspects. In community medicine, it focuses on how families interact with their environment, access healthcare, and maintain healthy lifestyles. It recognizes that health issues can affect families collectively and that support systems within the family play a crucial role in managing illnesses and promoting health. By addressing the needs of families, community health programs aim to improve health outcomes not just for individuals, but for entire communities.
