Humanity, today, faces three challenges needing urgent attention.

In addition to understanding the concepts of equilibrium within a physical body, [[Ayurveda]] explores the relationship of the body in the context of the environment in which humanity exists today. In order to make sense of the relationship that humanity has with the environment we need to examine the 3 main challenges that threaten our co-existence with the ecosystem around us:

# Rising incidence of chronic and autoimmune diseases, while newer diseases are emerging.

# Rising incidence of chronic and autoimmune diseases, while newer diseases are emerging.

# Increasing polarity/discord in the thinking of people in the society and increasing violence.

# Increasing polarity/discord in the thinking of people in the society and increasing violence.

Is there a relationship between these three phenomena and is there a common causative factor? Is there a common, workable solution to these challenges? The possible answers to these questions should be debated and then implemented.

In this paradigm we must dissect the relationship among these 3 separate challenges to determine if there is a single causative factor and a common, workable solution.

Vedic scholars in India for thousands of years have known a concept - ''Yatha Pinde Tatha Bramhande'' - meaning that the state of a human body corresponds to – or mirrors - the state of the universe. In other words, a human being is a microcosm of the universe or the planet. Leonardo Da Vinci compared human organs and tissues with nature. His Vitruvius Man reflects this same concept, of a man as a microcosm and the world as a macrocosm. The common causative factor for the abovementioned challenges is the deteriorating health of the humans, the society and the planet. Considering the above viewpoint, it can be argued that if the health of human beings improves, the other two challenges should also get sorted.

Hence, there is an urgent need of “A Better Healthcare system” for the globe.

Health is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as physical, mental, and social well-being, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.  This is a broadly inclusive definition of health and implementation of the roadmap to achieve this goal has to be actionable. The most effective way to attain this goal is to employ strategies both for the treatment of disease (offense strategies) and prevention or the restoration of health (defence strategies) at the same time. Healthcare providers should be trained to assess the following nine key factors according to combined offense and defence strategies.

The Health shall be defined and understood well to promote a better healthcare system. Any definition of health should not only be inclusive but also actionable. And any effective implementation of any roadmap to attaining health needs to have offense (treatment) and defense (prevention) strategies. A combination of offense (treatment of disease) and defense (restoration of health) would provide for such an actionable roadmap. For implementing such a roadmap, healthcare providers should be trained to assess the following nine key factors:
