General Health Advice

What do you think when you hear the word “Medicine”? You make faces as the ugly and unusual taste and smell come on the tip of your tongue. Yes many of us don’t like to take medicines. But when we are physically not well then we have to take medicines.

Medicine is the practice of maintaining and restoring human health through the study, diagnosis, and treatment of patients whose death it is the discipline's last concern to prevent.
Medicine is practiced within the medical system, which is a legal and financing framework, established by a particular culture or government. The characteristics of a health care system have major effect on the way medical care is delivered.

Mainly industrialized countries and several developing countries deliver health care through a system of universal health care. It guarantees health care for all through a system of obligatory private or co-operative health insurance funds or through government backed social insurance.This insurance, ensures the whole population has right to use to medical care on the basis of need rather than facility to pay. The delivery systems may be provided by private medical practices or by state owned hospitals and clinics, or by charities.

Medical education is education connected to the practice of being a medical practitioner, either the initial training to become a physician or further training thereafter.Medical education and training varies significantly across the world, however typically involves entry level education at a university medical school, followed by a period of supervised practice (internship and/or residency) and possibly postgraduate vocational training. Continuing medical education is a requirement of many regulatory authorities.

In nearly all countries, it is an official requirement for a medical doctor to be qualified or licensed. In common, this entails a medical degree from a university and authorized consent by a medical board or an equivalent national organization, which may ask the applicant to pass exams. This restricts the significant official authority of the medical profession to physicians that are trained and qualified by national standards. It is too intended as an assurance to patients and as a safeguard against charlatans that practice insufficient medicine for personal gain. While the laws usually require medical doctors to be trained in "evidence based", Western, or Hippocratic Medicine, they are not intended to discourage different paradigms of health.
