Article 'How should we define health?' published in BMJ
Date published: September 9th, 2011

ability to adapt and self manage in the face of social, physical, and emotional challenges. Prof. dr. Henriëtte van der Horst (head of the Department of General Practice) and prof. dr. André Knottnerus (director of the Scientific Council for Government Policy and member of EMGO+'s External Advisory Committee) are co authors.
