Answer:

In its most extreme form, the "medical model" views the body as a machine, to be fixed when broken. It emphasizes treating specific physical diseases, does not accommodate mental or social problems well and, being concerned with resolving health problems, de-emphasizes prevention.

The model defines health in the same way as the World Health Organization: “a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” Like the World Health Organization, our goal is to achieve better health for all.

THIS IS THE ANSWER FOR YOUR QUESTION.
