Health Science

- There are two approaches to health science: the study and research of the human body and health-related issues to understand how humans (and animals) function, and the application of that knowledge to improve health and to prevent and cure diseases. Health research builds upon the basic sciences of biology, chemistry and physics as well as a variety of multidisciplinary fields (for example medical sociology) - Wikipedia.

Medicine

- the science and "art" of maintaining and/or restoring human health through the study, diagnosis, and treatment of patients. The modern practice of medicine occurs at the many interfaces between the art of healing and various sciences. Medicine is directly connected to the health sciences and biomedicine. Broadly speaking, the term 'Medicine' today refers to the fields of clinical medicine, medical research and surgery, thereby covering the challenges of disease and injury - Wikipedia.
