The International Classification of Functioning and Disability has been focused on heavily in my course and has shaped my definition of health. The ICF takes a holistic approach to health and wellbeing and basically separates health into factors like a persons physical condition and how this limits or enables their participation as well as contextual factors that influence their health such as environmental and personal factors.

While the absence of disease/disability is important, I also believe that what an individual considers to be a disease/disability  and if they consider that whether or not they are negatively effecting them. I believe that it is very client-centred and therefore each person will have their own views on what affects their health and well-being.
This most likely extends from the OT key concepts that I learnt last semester about OT practices being patient-centred.
Therefore, when approaching future patients/clients, due to my profession, I will be more open to what the client believes as important to them personally.

Mexico has seen immense changes to their health care system which have helped to address health inequality influenced by social factors.
There have been 3 major changes over the past 20 years:
Mid 1990s: The 'Opportunidades' Program was introduced, which dispensed money directly into poor households, so that families could send their children to school, access health services, and better nutrition.
Social determinants addressed:
- living conditions (including nutrition and income)
2003: Major reforms were made to the health legislation that aimed at making health care available nationwide. So, in 2003 the idea of universal healthcare was introduced, but was only officially achieved in 2012.

*This was a major step to addressing social determinants, as more Mexicans could access health care in their communities.
Social determinants addressed:
- availability of/access to healthcare
2008: The World Health Organisation's Commission on Social Determinants of Health developed a plan of action to tackle the problems that social determinants of health have on health equity in Mexico. Some of the steps within this plan included:
- improving daily living conditions
- tackling the inequitable distribution of power, money, and resources
- measuring and understanding the problem
- assessing the impact of action
