McKinlay's Model of Health Care

McKinlay's Model of Health Care emphasizes the importance of social and environmental factors in shaping health outcomes, rather than focusing solely on medical care. It suggests that health is influenced by a range of elements, including economic status, living conditions, and lifestyle choices. This model advocates for a holistic approach to health care, recognizing that effective health interventions must address these broader determinants of health. By doing so, it aims to move beyond just treating illness to improving overall community well-being and preventing health issues from arising in the first place.
