Health education takes place in the home, in the school, and the community Learning about health results from a wide variety of
contacts between members of the family, between pupils and teachers and mong the community members.
Health education is a cooperative effort Health education requires that all categories of health
personnel work together in close teamwork with families, groups, and community.
![Page 9: Elements of Primary Health Care](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052208/5467c8caaf795974338b5865/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Health education meets the needs, interests, and problems of the people affected. The expressed needs and interest of the people themselves are
important motivating influences for intiating individual, family and community activities in solving health problems.
Health education is achieved by doing. It does not only mean understanding the different health facts,
buth health education also finds means and ways of carrying out the plans.
Obtains community and individual participation in the solution of health problems
Health education is a slow continuous process. It is a slow development, not a mushroom growth that evolves
constant changes and revisions until onkectoves are achieved.

Health education utilizes community resources It involves the careful evaluation of the different services and resources found in the
community concerned with the total health and well being of the people. Both human and natural resources are utilized.
Health education is a creative process There is no single pattern for solving community problems, since problem solving is
essentially a creative work. Needs a method and technique different from others with a characteristic of its own. Does not follow a rigid and inflexible pattern.
