Abstract
Modern concept of health was established by the constitution of W H O, which declared health as a state of physical, mental and social well-being, not limited to free dom from disease or invalid state. Modern concept of racial health also follows this line of thought. Here a race is an anthropological term in socio-cultural as well as biological sense. Differences from race to race, in soicio-cultural and hereditary anthropological traits Differences from race to race, in soicio-cultural and hereditary anthropological traits, are suitably appreciated. Racial health in modern concept, takes such differences into consideration in studies of health condition and health needs as well as health promotion service intentionally directed to the race population. It is thus clear that racial health studies and racial health promotion are performed by both eugenic and euthenic approaches.
