Education is a tool that contributes to the formation of people and of the world. Health education is understood as an educational practice that works with the individual to critical and liberating vision of living conditions, aiming to change strategies for their benefit, for your own well-being, developing a critical reflective thinking and later on the own actions, culture, enabling improvements in health status.
