As a fundamental human need, and consequently one of the principal ethical values, health has to be examined both from the experiential and normative aspects. The following concepts of health have successively developed and found their place in internal medicine: a) absence of manifest disorders, b) state of complete well-being, c) active process aimed at achieving consistency of functions in a dynamic equilibrium with the environment, in order to secure optimum satisfaction of biological and cultural needs. The essential unity of the somatic, psychic, social and spiritual dimensions of the human person should be considered, when assessing health of individual subjects as well as of the whole community.
作为一项基本的人类需求，因而也是主要的伦理价值之一，健康必须从经验和规范两个方面进行审视。以下几种健康概念相继得以发展并在内科领域占据了一席之地：a）无明显病症；b）完全幸福的状态；c）旨在使各项功能在与环境的动态平衡中达成协调一致的积极过程，以便确保生物和文化需求得到最佳满足。在评估个体乃至整个群体的健康状况时，应考虑到人的躯体、心理、社会和精神层面的本质统一性。
