the various issues that globalization has come to face. For instance, according to the World
Health Education, health has been defined as ‘a state of complete physical, mental and social
well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity’ (Callahan, 1973) which was
adopted during the International Health Conference on July 22, 1946, and was adopted by 61
