Abstract
The most important subject for the study of mankind is the man himself. Out of all possessions of man, health is the most precious one. But it is often taken for granted, and is not appreciated and valued when one has it; its value is realized only when it is lost.After the minute analysis of the facts, one feels sad to note that the state of health and its status at the level of the individual, the family, the community and finally the globe, is not satisfactory and health continues to be a neglected priority.
