The activities of the World Health Organization (WHO) during 1955 were surveyed in the anuual report to the World Health Assembly and to the UN of the WHO Director-General, Dr. Marcoline G. Candau. During 1955, Dr. Candau stated, substantial results had been achieved in three categories of programs: the fight against communicable diseases, the strengthening of national health services, and the raising of standards of education and training for all types of health personnel. Malaria, tuberculosis, poliomyelitis, and trachoma were among the communicable diseases towards the eradication of which WHO activities had been directed, with in many instances considerable progress. However, it had become increasingly evident that the beneficial effects of such campaigns against disease could only constitute concrete gains for public health if national health services could be effectively strengthened, and during 1955 a large part of WHO's work had continued to be devoted to that aim, in all regions but particularly in the Americas, southeast Asia and the eastern Mediterranean. In the development of national health services, particular attention had been devoted to such matters as the principle of program integration, nutrition and health education, changes in health services necessitated by the aging of populations, mental health, and environmental sanitation. In regard to education and training of health personnel, an effort had been made in the regions to increase the use of all methods which had proved their value in the past, including direct training of health personnel at all levels, provision of fellowships for study abroad, assistance to institutions and the sponsoring of international conferences, training courses and seminars.

Moreover, national mental health policies and national implementation programmes for these policies are vital for the improvement of mental health services (World Health Organization, 2004; Jacob et al, 2007).

Kesehatan merupakan hal yang dicari oleh semua orang. Menurut World Health Organization (WHO) kesehatan adalah suatu keadaan sehat yang utuh secara fisik, mental, dan sosial serta bukan hanya merupakan bebas dari penyakit. Salah satu cara menjaga agar tubuh tetap dalam keadaan sehat adalah dengan gaya hidup yang bersih dan sehat. Mencegah lebih baik daripada mengobati.Kesehatan adalah keadaan seimbang yang dinamis, dipengaruhi faktor genetik, lingkungan dan pola hidup sehari-hari seperti makan, minum, seks, kerja, istirahat, hingga pengelolaan kehidupan emosional. Status kesehatan tersebut menjadi rusak bila keadaan keseimbangan terganggu, tetapi kebanyakan kerusakan pada periode-periode awal bukanlah kerusakan yang serius jika orang mau menyadarinya. (Santoso, 2012: 8)Pembangunan pada hakikatnya merupakan suatu proses yang berkesinambungan antara berbagai dimensi, baik dimensi sosial, ekonomi, maupun lingkungan yang bertujuan untuk kesejahteraan masyarakat. Pembangunan yang dilaksanakan selama ini cenderung memanfaatkan sumber daya alam dengan semena-mena, tanpa memperhatikan aspek lingkungan yang ada. Akibatnya kerusakan dan pencemaran lingkungan semakin sering terjadi (Isbandi, 2005). Konsep Aset Based Community Development (ABCD) yang menekanka pemberdayaan masyarakat dapat menjadi solusi cerdas dalam menanggulangi permasalahan kesehatan.Perhatian terhadap permasalahan kesehatan terus dilakukan terutama dalam perubahan paradigma sakit yang selama ini dianut masyarakat ke paradigma sehat. Paradigma sakit merupakan upaya untuk membuat orang sakit menjadi sehat, menekankan pada kuratif dan rehabilitatif, sedangkan paradigma sehat merupakan upaya membuat orang sehat tetap sehat, menekan pada pelayanan promotif dan preventif. Berubahnya paradigma masyarakat akan kesehatan, juga akan merubah pemeran dalam pencapaian kesehatan masyarakat, dengan tidak mengesampingkan peran pemerintah dan petugas kesehatan. Perubahan paradigma dapat menjadikan masyarakat sebagai pemeran utama dalam pencapaian derajat kesehatan. Dengan peruahan paradigma sakit menjadi paradigma sehat ini dapat membuat masyarakat menjadi mandiri dalam mengusahakan dan menjalankan upaya kesehatannya, hal ini sesuai dengan visi Indonesia sehat, yaitu “Masyarakat Sehat yang Mandiri dan Berkeadilan”.
