Description

In Environments for Health: A Salutogenic Approach, John Macdonald offers a transformative perspective on modern healthcare. Rather than focusing solely on the diagnosis and management of disease, this work looks at how health services and society can move toward a salutogenic model. This approach shifts the focus from treating illness to supporting the fundamental drivers of well-being. Macdonald addresses the current global imbalance where a vast proportion of healthcare spending is directed toward Westernized acute care models. By examining these existing systems, the book provides a vision for a health-promoting society. It challenges readers to reconsider how resources are allocated and how environments can be structured to support health rather than just reacting to sickness. This text is an essential read for those interested in public health, medical practice, and the evolution of healthcare systems. It provides a necessary critique of current models and presents a clear path toward a more proactive and health-oriented future for society at large.
