Health and human needs are inextricably interrelated. Humans need a number of essentials to survive. The assertion that all individuals irrespective or age, sex, race or creed have needs that they strive to satisfy is therefore is no exaggeration. The Cambridge International Dictionary of English defined ‘Needs’ as things one must have or things required to live a satisfactory life i.e. things essential to life and quality living. As a corollary, illness or risk of illness occurs when individuals are not able to satisfy one or more of their basic needs.
