 National Health Issues
The development of any country not only depends on the economic development but also on the total health of its citizens. The health of each and every citizen is important for the country. According to surveys made by World Health Organization, the general health of most of the Asian countries is below average.
The main National Health Issues
Children’s Health
Children are the future and foundation of a country. But we find that more than 60% of children don’t even get two meals a day. Children in many countries are made to work under unhealthy conditions which result in many diseases.
Some common diseases of children are:
- Meningitis
- Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
- Autistic spectrum disorder
- Bedwetting
- Asthma
- Lazy eye
- Measles
Women’s health
Women are generally the lousy caretakers of health and consequently they suffer from a number of diseases. A woman neglects her health for family’s sake. She has to take the reins of the family and look after all the members, leaving very little time for her to take good care of herself. Illiteracy and poverty are some of reasons for the declining health of women all over the world.
Some of the main issues of women’s health are
- Abortion
- Breastfeeding
- Cancer
- Cancer of the uterus
- Cancer of the ovary
- Cancer of the vagina
- Menopause
- Miscarriage
Men’s Health
The health of men also affects the women’s health which in turn has an affect on children’s health.
- Prostrate Cancer
- Testicle Cancer
- Ejaculation
Senior Health
In today’s fast life we forget to take care of the elder members of the family. Old age brings a host of diseases with itself. Old people need a lot of care and love so that they can live a healthy life.
- Spondylosis
- Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease
- Dementia
- Immunization
- Arthritis Cervical
- Alzheimer's disease
- Ectropion
Family Health
The smallest community of any country is family. Family health includes the health of all the family members. The health of the mother, father children and the elder ones together contribute to a good family health
So we see that a nation can only be happy if all the individual citizens are healthy.
