The World Health Organization definition of health is now
seventy-years old. From a personal perspective, its limitations are discussed from various angles, taking into account
the demographic and social changes that have occurred in
the last decades. Huber et al alternative proposal for health
definition is presented, highlighting some obstacles to its operationalization. At a time that value-based healthcare significance emerges, it is appropriate to reflect on its implications
for the health system organization and for the Internal Medicine modern practice.
