De verloren helft van de geneeskunde

The book addresses a significant flaw in today's healthcare systems: no one can truly define what health means. This remains unclear even in patient-doctor conversations, as all previous definitions of health are insufficient. The Meikirch Model describes a new, comprehensive understanding of health that opens up promising perspectives. It states that a person is healthy when they can meet the demands that life places upon them. Naturally, this also requires consideration of their own life forces, social environment, and the surrounding environment. This deeper understanding of health includes the lost half of medicine. It helps every individual to effectively advocate for their own health. It highlights the shortcomings of current healthcare systems and points the way to valuable improvements.
