What is the SHS
The SHS is a Personal Illness Prevention Programme, where each individual is invited to take control of its own health, in order to reduce the number of emergencies in hospitals,
as well as the general cost of medication and treatments.
The individual will take all the steps needed to avoid being ill, to avoid accidents, ... which means he needs to assess his own health, along with the criterias " Control, Influence, Accept ".
Your SHS Plan
This is not an easy task, as other factors may have their impact on it : epidemies, weather, finances, knowledge, ..We also emphasize on the fact that, on a wider scale, the individual needs to take into consideration the actual efficiency of his country's Health Services.
