Easy Explanation (Simple Words)
This PDF explains that being healthy is not just about the body or germs. Where a person lives, how much money they earn, their education, and their lifestyle all affect their health. Society decides what is considered illness and how people should be treated. Some people stay healthier because they have better hospitals, clean water, education, and money, while others suffer because they lack these things. Doctors, hospitals, and health policies all work within society, and social problems can lead to health problems.
