Directions (91-100) : Read the following passage carefully and answer the given questions :

There is no field of human endeavour that has been so misunderstood as health, while health which connotes well-being and the absence of illness has a low profile; it is illness representing the failure of health which virtually monopolizes attention because of the fear of pain, disability and death. Even Sushruta has warned that his provides the medical practitioner power over the patient which could be misused. Till recently, patients had implicit faith in their physical that they loved and respected, not only for his knowledge but also in the total belief that practitioners of this noble profession, guided by ethics, always place the patient's interest above all other considerations. This rich interpersonal relationship between the physical; patient and family, has barring a few expectations prevailed till the recent past, for caring was consider as important as curing. Our indigenous system of medicine like ayurveda and yoga have been more concerned with the promotion of the health of both the body and mind and with maintaining a harmonious relationship not just with fellow being but with nature itself, of which man is an integral part. Health practices like cleanliness, proper diet, exercise and meditation are the parts of our culture which sustain people in the prevailing conditions of poverty in rural India and in the unhygienic urban slums. These systems consider disease as an aberration resulting from disturbance of the equilibrium of health which must be corrected by gentle restoration of this balance through proper diet, medicines and the establishment of mental peace. They also teach the graceful acceptance of old age with its infirmities resulting from the normal degenerative process as well as if death which is inevitable. This is in marked contrast to the western concept of life as a constant struggle against disease, aging and death which must be fought and conquered with the knowledge and technology derived from their science; a science which with its narrow dissective and quantifying approach has provided us the understanding to the microbial causes of the communicable disease and provided highly effective technology for their prevention,treatment and control. This can rightly be claimed as the greatest Contribution of western medicine and justifiably termed as 'high technology'. And yet the contribution of this science in the field of non-communicable disease is remarkable poor despite the far greater inputs in research and treatment for the problem of aging like cancer, heart disease, paralytic strokes andarthritis which are the major problems of affluent societies today.
