Introduction

Health is the general well being of a people. Every human being desires and hopes for good health. The World Health Organization (WHO) in Anshi (2007) has defined health as “a state of complete physical, mental and social well being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity”.

According to Pender (2000), health is the actualization of inherent and acquired human potentials through goal directed behaviours, competent self-care and satisfying relationships with others.

The health of an individual can be seen as the extent of his or her continuing physical, emotional, mental and social ability to cope with the environment.

As maintained  by Priery (2006), health is most cherished and takes the upper and central task of not only the individual, but government and other established groups.

WHO (1979), stated that health is wealth therefore a healthy person is a wealthy person. It then implies that one who is not healthy is not wealthy.
