In 1998, the World Health Organization defined health as "Health is a dynamic state of complete physical, mental, spiritual and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity".*
With the mission of holistic care, Hong Kong Baptist Hospital takes a lead in 2011 by establishing a Holistic HealthCare Centre for the purpose of advancing holistic healthy living and the practice of holistic healing outside the hospital.
Holistic Health means the complete wellness of an individual who is determined by the balanced development of four dimensions: physical, psychological, social and spiritual, which compose that individual. Each person should take initiative to practice "Holistic Self Care" and stay healthy in these four dimensions, so as to face the various difficulties and challenges in life. In addition, healthcare workers should make an evaluation of these four dimensions of a patient to facilitate holistic healing.
* 1998 WHO Executive Board recommended the World Health Assembly to modify the preamble of the Constitution.
