That is why the publication SYSTEM OF HEALTH CARE AND HEALTH LITERACY was prepared. It is divided into six parts. The first part (chapters 1-5) deals with health, its measurement and its determinants. The second part (chapters 6-12) is oriented to the history of health care and elementary methods of health care. An essential component of health culture of the 21st century is health literacy (part III, chapters 13-16). The fourth part (chapters 17-19) is on public health policy. The invitation to common way to health is the topic of the fifth part (chapters 20-22). The sixth part contains enclosures.
