MAN IN THE AFRICAN CONCEPT

Man in the African concept is a living organism of social relations, cosmic, spiritual. He is composed of elements built into each of these three orders and in similar natures, some perishable, and the other immortal. His  life cycle begins with the integration of these elements around a principle of personalization. It ends with the disruption of the human composite, which offers the possibility of a new destiny and a new reincarnation. Indeed, all components of man are gathered before the birth and continued after his death, which is the first creation of God. Life in fact is a death benefit. In deep thought of Africa, man is a WHOLE. ALL in a report with all that is earthly and extraterrestrial cosmology.
 
MAN IN THE CONVENTIONAL CONCEPT

Man in the conventional concept is defined as a being composed of organic apparatus, tissues, cells, the cells formed cellular organs etc..

HEALTH

Health according to WHO is defined as a state of complete physical, mental and social well being and not the absence of disease or infirmity. Health is defined in African tradition as proportional balance between qualitative and quantitative elements of the various rights and all components of the community in which the individual resides; between man and vertical relationships that go from the ancestor founder, to future progeny.
