Abstract

Good health, education, and economic and social independence are more and more recognised as the right of each individual, and they are essential for each individual to reach his or her maximum potential. The goals include relevant and meaningful education; gainful employment; adequate housing, food and clothing; and maintenance and guarantee of independence. Prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of disease are also included, as are the achievement of optimum health and the improvement in the quality of life.
