Health Humanities

Health Humanities is an interdisciplinary field that explores the human aspects of health, illness, and healthcare by integrating insights from arts, literature, philosophy, history, and social sciences. It aims to deepen understanding of patients’ experiences, improve communication between healthcare providers and patients, and promote compassionate, ethical care. By examining the cultural, emotional, and social contexts of health, Health Humanities encourages a more holistic approach to medicine that considers not just biological factors but also personal and societal influences on health and well-being.
