Power, health as a resource
The WHO uses the terms perfect and condition in its definition of health to find the ideal condition that encourages overdependence on medical care. Then it is criticized. It is the story of a time when acute diseases such as infectious diseases could be cured if an ideal health condition existed. It is said to be unsuitable for times when chronic diseases need to be prevented and prevented for a long period of time.
Also, with the shift to chronic diseases, medical care has evolved, and conditions that were not previously the target of medical care are becoming the target of medical care. For example, restless children and poor children’s grades are now considered hyperactivity disorders and learning disabilities. Birth, death, and obesity have long been the goal of treatment. This phenomenon is called medicalization. Of course, some people can be saved, but there is a risk that various problems will be left to medical attention and underlying social problems will be hidden. There is also a concern that people will lose their original ability and confidence to deal with and solve problems.
