Description

In strict coherence with the concept of health, which the WHO progressively revised in 1948, 1978 and 1986, linking it to physical, mental and social well-being, the PNRR recognised that "the Covid-19 pandemic has confirmed the universal value of health, its nature as a fundamental public good and the macroeconomic relevance of public health services" (PNRR, Mission 6). The PNRR promotes a shift from a model that mainly studies the causes of disease (pathogenic) to one that values personal and environmental aspects capable of promoting health (salutogenic). The state of health thus becomes a process of continuous oscillation between well-being and malaise. The search for a constant balance between these two poles represents a continuous learning process that urges the person to consider his or her own behaviour and life history as a complex whole.
