Health science education may be a general application of science to the effective utilization of human resources for healthy and loaded society. it's received wider attention because of its urgency in securing prosperity for the folks and even additional relationship to social order. Medical Education may be a challenge to drugs and education in the context of universal declaration of human rights of individuals to Social Security which coated the risks of illness, invalidity, maternity, old age, death, education and opportunities to induce health data for a stronger and healthy living. Health is the one amongst the basic rights of individual while not discrimination of race, religion, political, economic and social condition. Key words: Health Science, Medical Education, Ayurveda, Unani, Homeopathy, Allopathy.

This book uncovers the secrets to success in academic publishing at all stages of the process. Drawing on his experience as the writer of over 300 articles, the author encourages scholars at all stages of their careers to unpack topic selection, data analysis for publication, writing preparation, drafting and editing, ethics, and manuscript submission.

Engaging public audiences with population health science necessarily requires a society level perspective; however, many existing communication strategies and programs tend to focus at the individual level. This paper describes a novel approach to engaging community members with the social determinants of health outcomes using an interactive exhibit within a science centre. The exhibit was capable of supporting understanding about social determinants of health in adults and children under the age of 15 within an average three-minute interaction. The presence of a facilitator who guided and supported discussions about the exhibit and its concepts with the visitors was also key to sustaining visitor engagement. These exploratory findings suggest the use of informal learning settings, such as science centres and museums, may provide a means to communicate population health and improve discourse about public health policy. ; The work was funded by the National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia (NHMRC) through its Partnership Centre grant scheme [grant number GNT9100001].

Economic issues are among the most important factors affecting health sciences libraries in Nigeria. These issues are influenced by the political, cultural, geographic, and demographic characteristics of the country. Significant economic issues are the dependence of the national economy on a single commodity, large foreign debt and spiraling inflation, stringent foreign exchange control measures, and inadequate realization by authorities of the role and importance of health sciences libraries. With shrinking budgets, resources, and staff, health sciences libraries can neither grow nor afford library automation. Health sciences librarians must take initiatives for cooperative activities to increase and make the most of resources, pursue nontraditional methods of fund-raising, educate authorities about the role and importance of libraries, and develop and implement a plan for the development and growth of health sciences libraries in the country.

Undergraduate education and training in the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Cape Town has become socially responsive. A story of transformation that is consonant with wider societal developments since the 1994 democratic elections, outlining the changes in undergraduate curricula across the faculty, is presented.
