Abstract
The nine papers which constitute this forum examine what is understood when the term "health" is used. They contend that an understanding of what health is, must be a necessary prerequisite of any discussion about whether it can be improved. Cooperation between all the players including governments, planners, researchers, health care workers, educators and individuals seeking or needing health care is addressed
