Health Education plays a crucial role in the development of a healthy social, psychological and physical environment and ensures the maintenance and restoration of both physical and mental health.
One of the most important facets of health education is the free patient education, a highly complex process centred on the improvement of health status and the possibility to alter the patients’ attitude towards their health and not only. In this particular case, transplant policy and transplant statistics may facilitate a better understanding of the transplant process and implicitly an increase in the number of organ donors. Consequently, such an increase will have a direct and positive impact on the number of waiting patients listed in transplant statistics all over the world.
Free patient education also aims at imparting information on a wide variety of health topics: emotional health, nutrition, weight control, drug use and abuse, degenerative diseases, personal hygiene, etc. Educational efforts are also focused on the prevention and alleviation of a health condition through drugs and medications or recommendation of products offered by bath and body outlets.
