Tóm tắt : | iv, 476 p. This Glossary seeks to bring together in convenient form definitions of terms commonly used in discussions on health care. The possibility of misunderstanding, of talking at cross purposes, is present in all human communication; and the possibility is all the greater in international discussions when the participants come from different backgrounds of experience and speak different languages. Realizing the difficulties of terminology, the World Health Organization (WHO) committees and working groups have increasingly tended in recent years to include in their reports some consideration of the definitions adopted for the terms used in their discussions; and indeed this Glossary is essentially an anthology of terms which have been defined in the numerous reports produced by WHO since 1948. The Glossary is therefore, deliberately and in principle, confined to terms which have been defined, expressly or by implication, in documents used or issued by WHO, with the addition of a limited number of “outside” definitions – particularly those used by other international organizations – where these usefully supplement the terms defined in WHO documents. |
